Family Advisory Council on Special Education

FACE

FACE MISSION

We believe parents and guardians must play an active and collaborative role in the education of children with disabilities. We believe parents and/or guardians are responsible for helping school officials identify, as well as resolve problems related to special education.

FACE PURPOSE

• To represent the parent, family, and community perspective on substantive issues related to educating students with disabilities
• To collaboratively work with district administrators to examine and study special education issues and develop suggestions and recommendations that will result in improved program delivery
• To serve as an advisory group to the Department of Special Education

FACE is composed of parents of MNPS students with IEPs who meet monthly to support parent education and facilitate communication between parents and district staff. Each cluster has a representative.
