Committee

to meet

On Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 3:45 p.m. at the high school library we will hold the first meeting of the 2006-07 school year for the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC). This was formerly known as the Local Advisory Committee (LAC). Present Committee members include Marsha Thompson, Marrieta Verrill, Karen Alexander, Sherry Hamill-Huff, Edith Clark, Linda Clark, Janet Jenkins, Elizabeth Lee-Harris, Jennings Hobson, Ester Settle, Katie Massie, Fran Krebser and Nancy Reeve.

December 5 - 9 is National Inclusion Week. The purpose of this week is to recognize the ever-increasing diversity among student population and to celebrate the work performed on behalf of all children, particularly those with disabilities. In anticipation of this, our topic of discussion for this meeting will be Inclusion in the General Education Classroom.

The philosophy of Rappahannock’s Special Services Department is one that provides opportunities for learning for a diversity of learners. Ideally, our schools are places where children are valued and differences are seen as opportunities, not obstacles. The inclusion of students with disabilities in the general education, curriculum plays a big part in this learning opportunity.
