Special Education Advisory Committee

What is the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC)?

Under Ontario's Education Act, every student is entitled to a program which meets their needs.  In ²Ýݮֱ²¥, our Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) helps the Board protect the rights of students with special learning needs.  SEAC provides information, advise and assistance to parents/guardians whose children may require additional support.  

SEAC advises and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the establishment and development of special education programs and services.
