Special Ed Parent Advisory Committee Interest Form

Required

The Portland Public Schools is creating a district-wide committee focused on students with special needs and improving their services and outcomes. The goals of the committee are to ensure that family voice is represented in decisions and initiatives related to special education, and also to increase family awareness of and engagement with special education within PPS. To form this committee, we are looking to bring together a diverse group of 15-20 parents with students across schools, grade spans, and programs. If you are interested, please submit your application! The deadline to apply is Sunday, June 21.
