Letter from Director of Special Services
Welcome Back!
Special Education Parent Advisory Council
Please contact Dr. Jenine Kastner Jkastner@cpsnj.org if you are interested in being a parent representative for CPS SEPAG.
SEPAG is a parent advisory council that collaborates and brainstorms in the best interest of our students with special needs.
School officials meet regularly with SEPAG representatives to discuss issues and work together to find solutions.
For example, SEPAG may talk about things like:
-
District policies and procedures
-
Parent Trainings
-
Access various community resources
-
Discuss transitions for our students
-
District programs and initiatives
-
Fundraising to support additional opportunities for our students
Since it’s focused on policy and communication, activities include things like:
-
Helping parents get information about special education rights and policies to build relationships with schools
-
Developing periodic or annual reports for the school board about the special education community
-
Hosting informational workshops by partnering with the district or outside professionals
Sincerely,
Dr. Jenine Kastner
