The River Edge SEPAG is a state–mandated group for parents, educators and individual concerned about children with special needs and/or learning disabilities within the River Edge School District.
The group’s mission is to facilitate communication between students, parents, staff, the Board of Education, and the community, with regard to issues surrounding the district’s special education programs, for the purpose of advising the Board of Education and administration on matters pertaining to improving the quality of special education district-wide.
RE SEPAG offers information about various topics meant to inform and inspire attendees, and to increase the community’s understanding of the district’s special education programs and services. Some meetings are informal, while others feature guest speakers and presentations. The discussions relate to the education, health, and safety of children within the district.
The group encourages all parents, educators, and interested individuals to attend and provide suggestions and ask questions. All parties’ input is equal and crucial in meeting the special needs of our children.
