The California Education Code Section 56190-56194 mandates that each Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) have a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) that serves in an advisory capacity regarding:

·  The development, amendment and review of the Local Plan.

·  Recommending annual priorities to be addressed by the Local Plan.

·  Assisting in parent education and recruitment.

·  Encouraging community involvement in the development and review of the Local Plan.

·  Supporting activities on behalf of individuals with exceptional needs.

·  Assisting in parent awareness of the importance of regular school attendance.

The Education Code also mandates that the majority of CAC members be parents. Joining the CAC gives parents an opportunity to have their opinions heard and make a difference in the way Special Education is conducted in Elk Grove.
