Special Education Committee

The Special Education Committee is interested in better understanding the special education needs of our district and better addressing them through our work. Our goal is to be a resource for parents in the district who are navigating the world of Special Education while also being advocates for their children.

Scroll on for some resources as well as our district survey. If you would like to join the Special Education Committee or are looking for information on a specific topic, please email sprsped.dfptsa@gmail.com.
