SEAC doesn't represent any single student group. The target of SEAC is the families of students that are receiving special services in the district. This may include students on IEP's, IFSP's, 504 plans, ESL services, as well as any others that may fall under special services.

SEAC is not a support group, it is an parent advocacy group for the New Prague Area special services students, to advise and recommend effective and responsible education services, to provide a vision for the future, to advocate for programs and system change, and to represent the voice of our community regarding students with disabilities.

One of the visions that is held by SEAC is the creation of support groups for particular areas of need. Part of this process is identifying interest levels in different areas, coordinating setting up the support groups meeting time and place, and communicating this to other support group members. If you are interested in being part of a support group or helping o start a support group, please let a committee member know.

All parents, educators, and others interested in students with disabilities and/or receiving special services through the New Prague Area Schools are invited to take part in SEAC meetings. There are different levels of commitment, while some members choose to made aware of upcoming meetings and attend meetings with agenda that is of particular interest to them, others choose to take more of a leadership role, making themselves more available as a contact person to other new members and interested parties and serving as officers on the committee.

SEAC meetings typically meet 3-4 times during each school year. The meeting schedule is posted to the website and an agenda and meeting reminder are sent out to anyone having indicated that they would like to receive this information. In order to be on the e-mail list, please notify:
