Special Education Advisory Committee
Lake Oswego School District Student Services Department is excited to announce the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC), a rebranded collaboration between Student Services staff and parents/guardians of students receiving special education services or 504 plan accommodations.
The primary activities of the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) include:
- Commitment to attend meetings (typically once per month) to receive/share information and provide feedback on special education services in our district
- Share resources with parents/guardians of students receiving special education services
- Assist with parent/guardian workshops
- Serve as a liaison between the Student Services Department and each building’s School Advisory Committee (SAC)
Other Committee Information
Members*: 12 (one parent/guardian per school & Community Transition Program)
Student members: As applicable; invite based on topics
Membership: Annual google form/interest survey submitted to the Executive Director
Meeting Frequency: Typically monthly (but will vary due to shorter instructional months and our participation in districtwide advisory committee meetings)
Meeting Format: In-person or Zoom with agenda & meeting minutes
Financial: District funding as necessary
*Parent/guardian members are required to register as a volunteer with LOSD annually since students may be in attendance at our meetings
