CISD creates special education council
What they’re saying
The Conroe ISD board of trustees approved creating the CISD Special Education Parent Advisory Council, or SEPAC, at the Feb. 17 board meeting. It was established in a 6-0 vote, with trustee Aggie Gambino abstaining as a founder of the council. Kendra Wiggins, CISD’s executive director of special education, said SEPAC would serve as a collaborative forum between the district and parents/guardians of students receiving special education services and 504 Plan students who receive federal nancial assistance. The council will be made up of board- appointed parent members representing all campuses, and it will serve in an advisory capacity to the board of trustees. Several members of district sta will serve as non- voting advisors, Wiggins said. SEPAC will meet quarterly starting Aug. 31.
