Special Education Parent Advisory Committee
Meet the Ingham Intermediate School District (ISD) Special Education Parent Advisory Committee
Beliefs
We believe:
- A student with an IEP should be an active participant in the community.
- The student comes first, not the disability.
- Students with an IEP should be supported by parents, students and the community.
- Parents, schools and community partnerships should provide opportunities that promote independence for students with IEPs.
Involvement
Membership
The Parent Advisory Committee representatives are appointed by local school districts. We are continually looking for new members. If you would like to become a part of the committee, contact your local Special Education Director to express your interest. We are always looking for parents, caregivers and volunteers to support Parent Advisory Committee activities.
