WSEAC Meeting 2026 11 04

The WSEAC (special education advisory committee) meeting, titled November 4, 2026, approved the September meeting minutes with no opposition. Members discussed special-education staffing and service delivery, including hard-to-fill positions, and plans to form elementary and pre-K teacher committees to consider more flexible ways of providing services. The group also discussed updating its bylaws with help from community contacts and creating a committee that includes parent and staff voices.

The district described a grant-funded community-engagement partnership with the Sergeant Center: future meetings are planned there, and participating parents will be offered a $20 Stop & Shop gift card. Members also considered a January parent session on toileting resources and training, with outreach through school flyers and potentially the district’s notification system. Adaptive physical education assessment and delivery training was also discussed. No contract awards, bids, or procurement approvals were identified; the meeting’s spending-related discussion concerned the grant-supported engagement and gift cards.
