Re: 8 VAC 20-81-230, pg. 273, 274: SPECIAL EDUCATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SEAC) GUIDELINES.

I oppose the change in the proposed regulations which would allow LEA personnel to act as voting members on local sped. advisory committees. 

To allow  LEA personnel to vote would be a conflict of interest, and not fair to families and their disabled children.

 ** Please note: I agree with and endorse the comments made by the Virginia Office for Protection and Advocacy, The Virginia Coalition for Students with Disabilities, and The Arc of Virginia **
