SEAC Outreach and Awareness
Lakeville holds an annual community event called a “People’s Fair” with an emphasis on diversity within the community. The Lakeville SEAC signed up for a display table and parent representatives provided materials about the SEAC itself, as well as disability-related resource materials for families. The table had a constant stream of visitors who were happy to receive the information and increased the visibility of the SEAC within the community.
Information Sharing Strategies
The ISD 196 (Rosemount, Apple Valley, Eagan) SEAC created an email “special education” listserv to send out information of interest to parents of students in special education, including notices regarding SEAC meetings and other parent training opportunities. Parents and school personnel voluntarily “sign up” by providing their email address. The listserv is administered by the school district. Information about the listserv and how to sign up is provided through flyers that go home with students, and on the district website’s special education page.
