A message from the Chair

Greetings Parents & Professionals. We are currently experiencing some trying times amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. The ESGV SELPA CAC is working together to compile as many resources for our community to help you stay informed, inspired, and connected. All outreaches and activities are currently canceled and we will keep you updated if anything changes. Please check your local school district website for information regarding food programs for students, any updated information pertaining to your school site, and its closure dates. Below you will find some helpful links from academic apps for your child’s Ipad, accessing free Internet, to what happens to the implementation of your child’s IEP and their related services during the mandatory school closure. We are taking steps to continue to serve you and will communicate with you regularly.

Tavia L. Lawson
Chair, ESGV SELPA CAC
