LCISD PAC Newsletter

The Lapeer County Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is a group of educators and parents representing our local school districts whose primary focus is to stay informed regarding Special Education plans and changes, current trends in Special Education at the County, State, and Federal level, and if needed, to assist and promote partnerships among parents and educators that benefit students with disabilities.

The PAC takes an active role in the development of the Lapeer County Special Education Mandatory Plan, a document which describes the delivery of special education services in Lapeer County. The PAC provides workshops and speakers from the county and Statewide programs which can richly serve not only the parents of children with special needs, but in many instances the individual with the disability.

The Lapeer County ISD Education & Technology Center Programs got an updated accessible playground (pictured above). Plus, the students at Turrill Elementary in Lapeer also got an updated accessible playground. See a video of the Turrill ribbon cutting by clicking on this link.
