PUBLIC COMMENTS TO MISSOURI'S SPECIAL EDUCATION ADVISORY PANEL

Missouri’s Special Education Advisory Panel is comprised of educators, administrators, state agency representatives, parents, and persons with disabilities. Our quarterly meetings are open to the public to attend, and there is a time for public comment on every meeting’s agenda.

For meeting information, please visit: DESE Special Education Advisory Panel webpage:  http://dese.mo.gov/se/seap/ or contact Lina Browner at 573-751-5739 or email: Lina.browner@dese.mo.gov.

We welcome and encourage comments regarding concerns or issues faced by students with disabilities, their families, and the professionals who work with them. For example, the SEAP has addressed such issues as transitioning to adult services, positive behavior supports, seclusion and restraint, and due process hearings related to special education.
