Who We Are?

Our Mission

WHAT’s a SEPAC? A network for parents of children with disabilities that provides a forum to share information and discuss matters of relative interest and concern regarding our children.

The purpose of the Wayland SEPAC is to foster the understanding of and respect and support for all students with special education needs who are enrolled in the Wayland Public Schools District (the “District”) or reside in Wayland pursuant to Chapter 71B of the Massachusetts General Laws and 603 CMR, 28.07 (4) and act in an advisory capacity to, and facilitate communication to and from, the District.  

 

We are fortunate to have a large number of volunteers as board members, committee members and liaisons
