Board to consider PACE appointment; staff recommends Jenny Sewell for county parent-advisory role
Summary
Staff recommended appointing Jenny Sewell to the Parents Advisory for Special Education (PACE) for a three-year term; board was asked to approve the routine appointment at the action portion of the meeting.
The board received a staff recommendation to appoint Jenny Sewell to the district’s PACE (Parent Advisory Committee for Special Education) for a three-year term running 2025–26 through 2027–28.
Staff explained PACE representatives must be parents of students who receive special education services and that PACE members serve both at the district level and as representatives to countywide PACE meetings at Kent ISD. The packet included a roles-and-responsibilities document and a membership form. Two current representatives, Jenny and Christy (last names not provided in the packet text), were described as already serving through the 2025–26 school year, and the recommended appointment fills a vacancy left by a member who stepped down.
The recommendation was placed on the agenda as an action item for the meeting. Board discussion was procedural and no substantive objections were raised during the presentation.
