Parents Supporting Parents of Children with Special Needs in Lexington Public Schools.

SEPAC meets regularly with LPS administration to be the voice of our parent community. Advising on concerns and opportunities. 

Our goal is to give all children safe and equitable opportunities in Special Education.

Welcome to the LexSEPTA, on this page you will be able to easily access many sources of information regarding special education for your child and other resources to help you as a parent of a child with needs, social gatherings with other parents, the school committee and more.

We need your feedback to help shape the future of education for our kids by completing this short anonymous survey by November 15, 2019.

Complete the Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JSZLT9W 

Is your child on an IEP (Individualized Education Programs) or a 504 Plan in the Lexington Public Schools District? 

The Lexington Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC), is administering an anonymous parent survey to all parents with children in Special Education or with a 504 accommodation plan. All responses, including comments, will be kept strictly anonymous and will be collated by the parent LexSEPAC group.
