Community Advisory Committee (CAC) Elections
 
The Community Advisory Committee (CAC) for special education is a District-level group made up of parents, guardians, educators, other school staff, students with disabilities and community members who collaborate to improve special education services. Most members are parents or guardians of children with disabilities. The CAC serves in an advisory role to the SELPA director, the Board of Education, and the Superintendent’s cabinet. Get involved! Consider joining the CAC and attending a regional election to learn more. *Prospective candidates must meet eligibility criteria, which include one of the following: they must provide evidence that they live, work, or have a child enrolled in a school covered by the LAUSD SELPA Local Plan. This will be based on the category they are interested in.
