About Us
The Danvers Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is a volunteer-led organization that works in partnership with families, students, educators, and the Danvers Public Schools to support the success, inclusion, and well-being of students with disabilities.
Whether you are new to special education, navigating an IEP or 504 Plan, seeking resources, or looking to connect with other caregivers who understand the journey, you, your student(s), and loved ones belong here.
We believe that families are essential partners in education and that strong relationships between caregivers, schools, and the community create better outcomes for all students.
Danvers SEPAC exists to provide information, connection, advocacy, and opportunities for meaningful collaboration so that every student can learn, grow, and belong. Our work is guided by Massachusetts law and our commitment to fostering a school community where all students are valued, included, and supported.

Partner with district leadership to provide family feedback and input

There is no right way to participate in SEPAC.
Attend a meeting. Join a workshop. Volunteer at an event. Follow us on social media. Share your experiences. Ask questions. Connect with other families.
Whether you have five minutes or five hours to give, your perspective helps strengthen our community and improve outcomes for students.
We envision a Danvers where every student is welcomed, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential; where families are respected as partners; and where schools and community organizations work together to create a culture of belonging for all.
Together, we are building a more inclusive Danvers!
