FAQs
What does SpEAC do?
We provide a network of support for parents; we collaborate with administration and teachers to improve special education programs; and we work to promote an atmosphere of open communication, understanding, and mutual respect among all students, parents, and the community at large. We do this by holding monthly meetings with the Director of Special Education to discuss issues that affect our students, by sponsoring seminars on educational issues, and holding networking meetings, to keep parents in touch and informed about the goings on in our district.
Who should come to meetings?
Anyone with a student or students in the Moorestown school district with different learning needs; be they academic, physical, emotional, or behavioral; anyone eligible for or receiving special services under an IEP or 504 plan; anyone needing support or looking for ways to make their child’s school experience as successful as it can be. SpEAC is made up of a group of diverse parents with children of all ages, who have a wealth of knowledge and experience about the school system and local resources.
When does SpEAC meet?
SpEAC meets monthly during the school year, usually on Thursday mornings. We also have evening programs scheduled from time to time throughout the year. Our meeting dates are listed on the Home & School calendar, as well as our website and Facebook page, and reminders are sent to our email list.
