Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC)
The Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) advises the Campbell County School Board about special education issues and ways in which they can make special education services as effective as possible.  The committee is a collaborative effort among school division personnel, parents, community representatives and all stakeholders.

The purpose of SEAC is to:
  • Assist local school division personnel in developing long-range plans for special education services
  • Advise school division personnel, the School Board, and the community about issues related to special education; and
  • Participate in the development of priorities and strategies to meet identified needs of students with disabilities.
The SEAC, whose members are appointed by the school board, is comprised of:
  • persons with disabilities
  • parents/guardians of students with disabilities
  • public/county human service agency representatives
  • community/civic organization representatives
  • business/industry representatives
  • The Director of Special Education, the Assistant Superintendent for Instruction and a representative from the school board serve as consultants to the committee.
Meetings are open to the public, and anyone in the community who has an interest in special education is welcome to attend.  SEAC meetings are a great opportunity to network with other parents.

Citizens are welcome to provide written comment to SEAC, or give public comment at the meetings during the time designated.   There is a designated time for public comment during SEAC meetings. This is an opportunity to share successful educational experiences and express general concerns regarding educational issues for students with special needs.   The SEAC requests that any concerns expressed be general comments dealing with global issues rather than a specific comment dealing with a personal matter or situation. The Committee suggests that you address concerns about personal situations directly to the Department of Special Education.
