The Acton-Boxborough Special Education Parent Advisory Council’s mission is to ensure understanding, respect, support, and the appropriate education of all children in our community. We strive to:

• Promote and support an innovative educational environment wherein children with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities, encouraging all students to realize their full potential.
• Provide regular forums to stimulate meaningful dialogue between parents/guardians and the Acton-Boxborough school system.
• Work in partnership with school administrators on the planning, development, and evaluation of district special education programs.
• Participate in the school district’s budget process, particularly as it pertains to students with disabilities.
• Provide outreach, support, and education to members of the community.
• Maintain a support network among parents/guardians.
• Maintain and update our website to disseminate information and share resources with families.
• Keep current with legislative actions and inform our members and community.
