Parent Advisory Committee

The Parent Advisory Committee is a group of parents who have one thing in common: a child with a disability.

You're not alone. We know. We've been there. We understand. Our group allows you to take a step back from your particular situation and gain insight and valuable information to assist you and your child.

Parent Advisory Committee members partner with local schools and serve as a voice for the families whose children receive special education services within Berrien County.

The goal of the committee is to support you as you learn about the special education system and to help you become more confident about your child’s school experience.
