San José Unified School District

Community Advisory Committee of Special Education

What is the Community Advisory Committee for Special Education (CAC SE)?

California Education Code (Part 30, Chapter 2, Article 7, 56190) requires each Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) to establish a Community Advisory Committee for Special Education (CAC SE).


CAC SE responsibilities include parent education and advocacy training, review and development of the special education local plan, participation in district committees directly affecting the special education program, and addressing concerns regarding special education programs that support students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).  The CAC SE is dedicated to insuring that every student receiving special education services within this district is getting the highest quality education.
