Groton Dunstable SEPAC holds a variety of gatherings and presentations throughout the school year. All events are open to anyone, from any district, interested in the education of students with unique needs. Discussion topics relate to supporting parents of students receiving special education services in Groton and Dunstable, providing feedback to and gathering updates from Groton Dunstable Regional School District's Student Services administration and advising the district and School Committee on key issues important to our community. We strive to advocate for all students while maintaining the GD SEPAC as a strong volunteer-based organization.
