The Special Education Advisory Committee’s (SEAC) mandate is to make recommendations to the 91pro视频 (HCDSB) in matters affecting the establishment and development of Special Education programs and services for students with exceptional needs.
SEAC is comprised of members nominated by local community associations and that are approved by the HCDSB. Parents that serve on SEAC come from local associations that promote the interests and well-being of students with exceptional needs and abilities.

SEAC Meetings will take place in the 91pro视频 Room of the Catholic Education Centre. There will be recordings of the meetings available on our after each meeting has taken place, at a later date.
