Council SpEd Rep Details

Can be a co-position (shared by 2 volunteers)
Heads up the Special Education Committee: This committee is made up of all the SpEd reps from all NSD schools, and any projects or objectives can be carried out as a joint effort of the whole committee, rather than falling only on the chair, or co-chairs.
Duties of this position include:
- Helping to raise awareness.
- Promoting district and community resources.
- Attending Northshore Council PTSA meetings
- Offering educational program opportunities, often in partnership with other community organizations.
- Connecting with and supporting the SpEd reps at NSD schools by meeting with them periodically (most recently over Zoom) to hear concerns from them, and from parents of kids at the schools they represent, and/or discuss possible action items.
- Collecting questions and feedback from NSD SpEd reps to share at meetings with Council, other local PTA leaders, school board members, or other NSD staff as appropriate.
