SEPAG

Why SEPAG?

Special Education Parent Advisory Groups are required for all school districts in New Jersey. The purpose of these groups is to provide opportunities for parents and community members to offer input to their districts on critical issues. New Jersey Administrative Code 6A:14-1.2(h) states that:
Each board of education shall ensure that a special education parent advisory group is in place in the district to provide input to the district on issues concerning students with disabilities.

The Northfield Public School District established the SEPAG as a forum for parents to provide input to the district regarding students with disabilities. We welcome the participation of all parents.

SEPAG Mission Statement

The  mission of the Northfield Special Education Parent Advisory Group (SEPAG) is to offer an opportunity for parents to have a voice about the educational programs and services offered in the district. Parents, educators, and other community members collaborate to build a supportive partnership that encourages and facilitates honest and effective communication, understanding and mutual respect. SEPAG’s goal is to empower parents to become effective advocates for their children with the hopes that all learners can meet their fullest potential.
