Crisis Support

Who are we?

The Special Education Citizens’ Advisory Committee of Prince George’s County Public Schools (SECAC-PG) is an organization of volunteers. We are parents and caregivers of students who need special education. Your input is solicited, valued, and respected as part of our work to advocate for meaningful changes in special education in YOUR community. Don’t miss your opportunity to advise the Department of Special Education on educational matters that lead to achievements in students.

SECAC-PG:

  • Parent LED: The executive board members are parent volunteers.
  • Parent INPUT: Your voice and advocacy lead to meaningful recommendations.
  • Parent EDUCATION: You help set the agenda.
  • Parent PARTNERSHIPS: School and community stakeholders collaborate for change.
  • General Assembly APPROVED:  Maryland regulations require each school district to maintain a SECAC.

Qualifications:  a willingness to be a volunteer and be a part of the conversation on achievement of all students!

General membership meetings are open to all. They are held the fourth Tuesday of every month* during the school year at 6:30 pm. There are no meetings in the summer (June, July, August) or December.
