CAC Purpose

  • California Education Code (Part 30, Chapter 2, Article 7, 56190) requires each Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) to establish a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) for Special Education. The Community Advisory Committee gives parents/guardians a voice in Special Education implementation. This group of parents and professionals gathers to promote high quality special education services and provide support for parents as they address all issues related to their students with exceptional needs.
