Southwest SELPA

SELPA stands for Special Education Local Plan Area. SELPAs are made up of school districts and county offices of education within a particular geographic areas.  Each SELPA develops a local plan describing how it will provide special education services.  SELPAs also support Community Advisory Committees (CAC).  The CAC is made up of school administrators, staff members, SELPA parents and others concerned about educating children with special needs.  The SELPA produces our Parent Rights booklet attached below.  Our SELPA is remarkable in the amount and quality of training it provides for staff at all levels.
