What is SEPAC?
The Special Education Parent/
Professional Advisory Council is
made up of Enumclaw School District
parents and educators who meet 3-5
times each school year for sharing
concerns and discussing special
needs and programs. The staff and
parents who participate are committed
to helping children with special
needs. Staff members and parents
are officially designated as council
members. Other staff and parents are
always welcome to attend.
