Survey About the Training, Information, and Support Needs of Families
The WestEd Center for Prevention and Early Intervention, under contract with the California Department of Education to coordinate and support the Family Empowerment and Disability Council (FEDC), is conducting a statewide survey of parents and guardians of California students who receive special education services. The purpose of the survey is to identify the ongoing and emerging information, support, and training needs of families. Data from the survey will be used to inform the activities of the FEDC to build the capacity of family empowerment centers to continue to meet the needs of families related to special education.
Take the survey.
North
Santa Cruz County CAC believes...
- In
child focused decision making,
- In
supporting the educational needs of all children,
- In
being supportive of parents,
- In
parent involvement in SELPA,
- That
parents are important in the decision making process.
The Community Advisory Committee
is an integral component of the SELPA Structure.
Purpose
The CAC serves
as an advisory body to the Governance Council and the North Santa Cruz
County SELPA Director, regarding the development and review of the
Local Plan as well as any policy additions or revisions. Additional
duties include assisting in parent education and in recruiting parents
and other volunteers to support activities on behalf of individuals
with exceptional needs. District representative members also have the
responsibility of forwarding pertinent information from the CAC to
their local boards and to assist in parent awareness of the importance
of school attendance.
Membership
All meetings
are open to parents of children with and without disabilities, educators,
agency representatives and other community members. Voting members
are appointed and approved by the school board of each district. The
majority of the voting membership must be comprised of parents of children
with disabilities enrolled in public or private schools within the
North Santa Cruz County SELPA. We welcome everyone concerned with the
education of children with special needs to attend.
Meetings
This year the North Santa Cruz County CAC plans to meet on a monthly basis. We will have our official meetings every two months and during the alternate months we will offer training seminars to deal with such items as developing parent facilitators in the IEP process and hosting guest speakers to give information on requested topics.
