PROUD is a group made up of guardians and district staff that are involved with students with disabilities. PROUD serves as a resource to families in the community. PROUD works collaboratively with district administration to affect positive changes.

What’s a SEPAG?

Special Education Parent Advisory Groups (SEPAG) 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."
