Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC)
What is SEAC?
SEAC (pronounced “seek”) is an acronym for Special Education Advisory Council, which is a group that provides input on special education issues to its local school district. Its purpose is to advise and advocate, not to decide policy. Minnesota law requires each school district in the state to have a SEAC although it does not specify how the groups should be organized or what duties they should perform.
At STMA our SEAC is:
- Composed of Parents, Community Members, Educators, and Administrators
- Advises the Special Education Department on current issues, program development, parental concerns and involvement
- Serves as an advocate for high-quality special education programs
- Promotes communication between family, school, and community
