The
Acushnet-Fairhaven Special Education Parent Advisory Council
|
|
The Parent Advisory Council (PAC)
meets four times during the school year, to review special education
regulations and discuss areas of interest and concern to the parents. PAC meetings alternate between Fairhaven
and Acushnet. At each meeting there
is a guest speaker or a video that many parents find informative. The PAC
also maintains a library that is housed at the Acushnet Elementary School.
There are several books and videos on different disabilities and issues. It
is available to parents and teachers. Scroll below to see the list of books. |
