What is SEAC?
The Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) is a group that provides important advice on
special education to the York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB). It is comprised of representatives
from the Board of Trustees, local agencies and associations that further the well-being of exceptional
students in the YCDSB. SEAC makes recommendations on matters affecting the establishment, development and delivery of special education programs and services for exceptional students.
How can SEAC help you, your child and your family?
SEAC members are available as a resource for students with exceptional needs, parents/guardians
of such students, schools, educators, trustees and the community. Many members are parents themselves of students with exceptional needs and are aware of the educational needs and abilities
such students may experience. For additional information visit https://www.ycdsb.ca/programs-services/studentservices/special-education-advisory-committee-seac/
