CACs are mandated special education advisory committees within the governing structure for Special Education Local Plan Areas (SELPAs).  Resources are provided in our public document drive to learn more about the purpose of Community Advisory Committees (CACs) and their responsibilities and requirements. This information is analyzed and discussed at our events, and we invite parent members of CACs to join us! Visit the Home page for links to join our discussion forum and Facebook group.

Please request access to view the contents of our public Google document drive:

• CAC Guidelines (versions 1-5)

See CDE website for SELPA responsibilities.
