15. Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) Guidelines. [8 VAC 20-81-230, pg. 273-274]
I oppose the change in the proposed regulations which allows LEA personnel to act as voting members on local advisory committees. Furthermore I oppose the proposed requirement that local advisory committees reflect the gender of the local school division. I further oppose the proposed requirement that local advisory committees reflect the ethnic makeup of the local school division. This direction is so vague as to be unusable.
