Special Education Advisory Committee

The Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) mission is to:

  • create an environment of quality education and equity, while promoting community awareness of the special needs of children
  • foster understanding and trust to improve family and school communication
  • review and respond to provincial legislation as it affects students with special needs
  • ensure that the Board is able to make informed decisions as they relate to student with special need

What SEAC members do:

  • report and make recommendations to the Board regarding any matter affecting the establishment and development of special education programs and services for exceptional students
  • receive phone calls from families and staff who are seeking information and resources related to specific exceptionalities
  • provide support and guidance to families in procedural matters
  • attend meetings at the school as an advocate or liaison at the request of either the family or the school
  • attend workshops and monthly SEAC meetings to keep up-to-date with the Board and Ministry of Education and Training programs
  • attend conferences and staying in constant contact with associations to maintain knowledge of current trends and research in their areas of expertise
  • share information and act as a resource to both school staff and families to promote understanding of all students with special needs.

The Special Education Advisory Committee is a legislated standing committee of the Board. The community representatives are nominated by their association and their appointment is approved by the Board. It is the role of the Special Education Advisory Committee to report and make recommendations to the Board regarding any matter affecting the establishment and development of special education programs and services for exceptional students.

Who can attend SEAC meetings?

The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board invites all parents and interested members of the public to attend Special Education Advisory Committee meetings. The committee meets monthly at the Education Centre in Peterborough.


Please see contacts or a committee member for information or confirmation of attendance if you plan to attend.
