Special Education ListServ (SELs) Postings


What is ListServ (SELs/SELs2)?

February 2000, the Division of Special Education created the Special Education Listserve (SELS).  It has been and continues to be a limited e-mail group (with listserve being a misnomer since it really isn’t a listserve) available to only one contact person per school district/responsible public agency.  It is used by the Division to disseminate important special education information concerning funding, compliance, data collection, professional development, etc. 

The Division has created a second e-mail group called SELS2.  This e-mail group is open to anyone wanting to subscribe (principals, teachers, parents, etc.).  It will allow subscribers to receive the EXACT same messages as subscribers to SELS.  By creating this second e-mail group, all constituents interested in special education will have the opportunity to receive the Division’s e-mail messages, not just one contact per school district/responsible public agency.  It also allows DESE to maintain the ability to make sure that every district has at least one contact person per district receiving these messages.  Messages are from DESE only and may only be posted by the manager (Lina Browner, Division of Special Education).  Members may not post messages to either SELS or SELS2.

How Do I Subscribe?

Those interested in subscribing to SELS2 can do so by going to the following website: http://dese.mo.gov/divspeced/sels2_subscribe.html or contact Lina Browner (contact information listed below).

Questions or Problems Subscribing to SELS2 and/or needing to change district's SELS contact;

  • Contact Lina Browner, Executive Assistant, Division of Special Education at
    (573) 751-5739
  • Email:  Lina.Browner@dese.mo.gov
