The Andover Special Education Parent Advisory Council’s mission is to foster a partnership with parents and the community to ensure that all students that require specialized instruction become life-long learners, critical thinkers and socially responsible citizens who contribute to a diverse community. The members of this volunteer group will work in conjunction with the dedicated staff of teachers and administrators to ensure that all students are able to access the high-quality, comprehensive education and educational services that Andover Public Schools have to offer.

Additionally, the SEPAC’s goal is to help parents/caregivers connect with one another in a supportive, transparent, inclusive manner that encourages an atmosphere of effective open communication amongst students, parents, educators, school administration and the community at large.

Furthermore, the Andover SEPAC will provide education and information to parents, caregivers and the broader community on Special Education Issues and Services as a means to ensure that all students needs are met under the Massachusetts Special Education regulations 603 CMR 28.07 (04)* and other applicable laws are being met.
