The purpose of the CAC is to advise the Board of Education on special education policies, programs, priorities and parent education in the SELPA. In the City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Unified School District and the SELPA are the same. In other areas, a SELPA may be made up of a number of school districts. http://portal.sfusd.edu/data/translation/pdf-en/CAC HANDBOOK... |
