Community Advisory Committee - CAC

The CAC is a group of parents, educators, service providers, and others who advocate for the needs of students with disabilities of all kinds and their families.

The CAC is mandated by the California Education Code (Sections 56190-56194), which states that each Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) must form a CAC.

Our Local Plan Area includes the three school districts in Modoc County: Modoc Joint Unified, Surprise Valley Joint Unified, and Tulelake Basin Joint Unified.

What are the activities of the CAC?
