Parent Advisory Councils
The Brockton Public Schools place a high value on parent input into its work supporting student learning. There are currently two PACs that are open to parents throughout the district. They are the District Parent Advisory Committee (DiPAC) and the Special Education Parent Advisory Committee (SEPAC). Both groups meet regularly to discuss issues and highlight the work related to their areas of focus.
In addition, each school has its own PAC. To learn more about individual school PACs, please visit your respective school's page.
SEPAC
Meeting Dates
SEPAC offers parents an opportunity to learn more about and engage directly with the Brockton Public Schools' Special Education Department. SEPAC seeks to offer parents the opportunity to:
- Engage in a network for parents and a forum for sharing ideas and information.
- Seek information about programs and resources that may be available within the community as well as those from local, state, and national organizations that can provide support for children with disabilities and their parents.
- Advise the school district on matters that pertain to the education and safety of children with disabilities.
- Meet with school officials to participate in the planning, development and evaluation of the school district’s special education programs.
- Work collaboratively with the school district to improve educational outcomes for students with disabilities.
- Communicate regularly with the Director of Special Education to discuss concerns and activities of the SEPAC.
DiPAC
DiPAC is the parent voice working collaboratively with school administration to enhance students' educational experience, support their academic success and meet their social and emotional needs.
The DiPAC advocates on behalf of all schools within the district. We attend School Committee meetings, school site council meetings, special education committee meetings and participate in several community forums where educational matters are discussed to bring parent concerns and desires into decision making.
Meetings are held virtually once a month. Email BrocktonDiPAC@outlook.com for the Zoom link.
