Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC)

Partnering Together for Student Success

Welcome to the Durango 9-R Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC)! We are a passionate and collaborative group made up of parents, educators, and community members working together to support students with disabilities.

SEAC serves as an advisory partner to the district’s Special Education Department, helping to ensure services are effective, inclusive, and centered on the needs of students and families. We provide a space where parents can share their experiences, learn more about special education, and contribute to meaningful improvements in our schools.

Who Can Attend?

Everyone is welcome! Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, advocate, or community member, your voice matters. SEAC meetings are open to all and take place quarterly. Notices are sent through Infinite Campus and We are 9-R.

Our Purpose

• Strengthen the connection between families, schools, and the community
