Heartland Charter School’s Governing Board reviewed the purpose of the Los Angeles Charter SELPA Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and received a written statement from Joy Rose expressing interest in serving as the school’s CAC representative.
The meeting materials explain the CAC is intended to advise the Charter SELPA on the Special Education Local Plan, annual priorities, parent education and related special education activities. The packet notes each local educational agency (LEA) is entitled to one CAC representative who serves a two-year term and must be appointed and approved by the charter school’s governing board.
Joy Rose provided a written biography in the packet describing her experience as an Inspire teacher and as a parent of a child with Down syndrome. In her statement, Rose said she has worked in multiple teaching settings, has experience supporting students with special needs and seeks to "help other parents navigate the world of special needs, easing their concerns and celebrating their children." She wrote that serving on the CAC would extend parent outreach to the SELPA level and connect Heartland families to resources and related agencies.
