Hello CAC Community -
There is a lot in the news these days about potential changes to special education and disability rights. While it is likely there will be some changes, currently the laws governing special education and disability programs remain unchanged. Please scroll down to the bottom of this news letter for more information or visit cacspedsf.com.
The CAC February meeting on SFUSDs budget priorities was well attended and participants engaged in a robust conversation about the impact of potential budget cuts on students with IEPs. As always, if you missed the presentation you can view the materials shared on the cac website: cacspedsf.com.
The Information Resource Conference is just a few weeks away. The CAC is proud to be a sponsor of this event and we invite you to stop by our table in the Exhibitor Hall. This year's event will have over 30 workshops on all sorts of disability and IEP related topics. Learn more and register at supportforfamilies.org/irc/.
Lastly, everyone is invited to join us at our very special March Meeting: The Awe Award Ceremony on March 27th! This year there are over 40 incredible nominees and we are excited to celebrate their contributions and the work they do to make our schools inclusive. We can't wait to see you there!

PURPOSE OF THE CAC Link to this section
The purpose of the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) for Special Education is to champion effective special education programs and services and advise the Board of Education on priorities in the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA).
The State Education Code mandates that each SELPA have a CAC and that a majority of CAC members are parents of students with disabilities.
Joining the CAC gives community members an opportunity to have their opinions heard and make a difference in the way special education is conducted in our area. Find out more on the CAC membership page.
