The Purpose of the Community Advisory
Committee
The
CAC serves as an advisory body to the Governance Council
and the Contra Costa SELPA Director, regarding the development
and review of the Local Plan as well as any policy additions
or revisions. Additional duties include assisting in parent
education and in recruiting parents and other volunteers
to support activities on behalf of individuals with exceptional
needs. District representative members also have the responsibility
of forwarding pertinent information from the CAC to their
local boards and to assist in parent awareness of the importance
of school attendance.
