Parent Support
Coming soon!
One of the SEPAC’s goals for the school year is to form a Parent Support Group. In the meantime, we’ll be providing space at our meetings for parents in search of support. The SEPAC Board is also staffed with parents with expertise in IEP meetings, transition, and advocacy. We monitor our email daily, so reach out anytime at wps.SEPAC@gmail.com.

…about the PRS?
Through its Problem Resolution System (PRS), DESE handles complaints that allege a school or a district is not meeting legal requirements for education. Anyone, including parents, students, educators, community members, and agency representatives, may contact the PRS office for assistance.
PRS staff recently held a webinar with updates regarding their role, processes, and timelines. Take a moment to read our DESE PRS Webinar Notes from February 2026.
