The Special Education Liaison is a parent volunteer elected by their school community to serve on their school’s PTA or HSA board (except for the Montrose and Out of District liaisons). The Special Education Liaison is a point person for support and advice for families of children who are struggling learners, or who are receiving services via I&RS, an IEP, or a 504 plan. Liaisons do not represent the school district or board of education, but serve as a link between the district’s parent volunteer groups (the Special Education PTO and SEPAC) and their community. They share their experience, offer suggestions and help connect families with resources.
