Each intermediate school district in Michigan is required to appoint a Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), composed of representatives from each of its constituent districts. The representatives "shall consist only of parents of students with disabilities with at least 1 parent from each constituent local school district and public school academy... (Rule 340.1838 Michigan Administrative Rules for Special Education Supplemented with IDEA Federal Regulations, April 2009).

In Wayne County, each of our local school districts is encouraged to appoint one or two PAC representatives. Wayne County Parent Advisory Committee (WCPAC) members often serve as an information source for other parents in their community. Each monthly business meeting of the WCPAC includes a parent training segment on issues identified by the members.

For information, contact Larry Stemple, Wayne RESA WCPAC, Special Education Consultant (734) 334-1541.
