SEPAC

Who We Are

The Brookline Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is an all-volunteer organization of parents and guardians of children with disabilities, from preschool through high school, including students in out-of-district placements. SEPAC members come together to learn more about special education in Brookline and to support and improve the educational experience for all students.

SEPAC sponsors workshops, informational meetings, discussion groups, and advocacy efforts to support students and families. The group meets monthly with Brookline Special Education Administration staff, providing an opportunity for families of students receiving special education services (e.g., those with an IEP) to share feedback, discuss current initiatives, and stay informed.

These meetings are open to all Brookline parents and guardians, as well as school and Town representatives, including educators, administrators, and School Committee members.

Meeting notices and updates are shared via email. Families can register to receive communications and learn more by visiting the SEPAC website.

Coolidge Corner School has two parent liaisons: Philip Ruedi (pwruedi@gmail.com) and Shauna Betof (sbetof@gmail.com). They welcome families to reach out with any questions.
