East Providence Local Advisory Committee for Special Education (EPLAC)

The East Providence Local Advisory Committee for Special Education (EPLAC) is a state mandated group that provides input on special education issues to the school district. Our role is to advise the school district on the development of programs and services to address the unmet needs of East Providence students with disabilities. The group is comprised of parents of school aged students with disabilities, school professionals and community members. By sharing their unique perspective, members are able to help East Providence Schools work more effectively with families and improve outcomes for children.
It is time for our yearly drive to expand our LAC membership. We meet on the last Wednesday of every month during the school year at the Martin Middle School Library 111 Brown St, East Providence from 6:30pm-8:30pm.
Membership Requirements:
• Either a parent of student(s) with disability, an individual with a disability, a special education or general education teacher, a public school administrator or other members of the community interested in the unmet needs of students with disabilities
• Attend regular monthly meetings
• Participate in committee activities
• Vote on issues relating to the LAC work
• Work collaboratively and pro-actively in identifying problems and recommending solutions
