The Quincy Parent Advisory Council to Special Education (QPAC) is a
formally organized group of parents and other interested individuals
committed to best education for all students within the Quincy Public Schools. Established
in 1977, QPAC fulfills the requirements and duties set forth within Massachusetts special education laws and regulations (pdf).
QPAC
also serves as a network for parents and others to share information
and resources relative to special education and disabilities. We
provide insights, techniques, support, and encouragement through informal discussions and special presentations, as well as through our website, e-mail list, and Facebook page.
QPAC
collaborates with the School Committee and the district to improve
educational outcomes for students with disabilities. We work with the Quincy School Committee and Quincy Public Schools to evaluate and review special education programs, policies, and procedures.
QPAC
promotes an educational environment where all students have equal
access to programs and opportunities. We encourage the inclusion of
children with disabilities in the life of the school and support their
right to be educated in the least restrictive environment.
QPAC
encourages the understanding and acceptance of students with
disabilities within the community. We collaborate with local
organizations to provide activities and resources to children with
disabilities and their families.
