Special Program Parent Advisory Council (The PAC)

The purpose of the Special Programs Advisory Council (The PAC) is to provide a coordinated approach and seek feedback on meaningful initiatives to support parents of children with disabilities. The PAC will:

  • Work collaboratively with the district to improve outcomes for students by providing feedback on matters that pertain to the education and safety of students with disabilities
  • Identify and provide needed resources for Special Program families through collaboration with schools, LISD, and the community
  • Cultivate a strong Special Programs community by creating opportunities for positive interactions between families, schools, and the community

We need you to join the PAC! The PAC is an opportunity for you to share your voice and help make a difference in the LISD Special Programs community.
