The Virginia Special Education
Network
Obtaining accurate and timely information about special education issues in
Virginia is often frustrating. To address this challenge, the Virginia Board for People with Disabilities and State
Special Education Advisory Committee (SSEAC) are collaborating to create a grassroots communications network to more effectively
and efficiently distribute this information. The network’s formation is particularly timely and urgent.
Early this fall, revised Virginia Special Education Regulations will be presented for public comment. The Board and
SSEAC want to ensure that their constituents are fully informed of this process and have every opportunity to contribute.
To participate in the network, go to http://www.vaboard.org/vsenform.htm or click on the yellow title
above. Fill in your contact information, especially your e-mail address, on the response form and return it by e-mail, fax,
or mail as indicated to begin receiving special education and other related disability information.
