What is a Special Education Parent Advisory Group (SEPAG)?

A Special Education Parent Advisory Group, or SEPAG, is a state-mandated, district-level, parent-driven committee of the Board of Education charged with providing input into the local school district on system-level challenges in special education and related services (N.J.A.C. 6A:14-1.2(h)).

What is the purpose of a SEPAG?

A SEPAG gives parents the opportunity to provide direct input to their school district about policies, programs, practices, and services that have an impact on students with disabilities and their families.  An effective SEPAG can increase the proactive involvement of families by inviting input that can be used to shape local special education policy and programs.
