Special Needs Parent Support Committee

Burlington Parents of students with disabilities are invited to join other parents monthly at a Special Needs Parent Support Committee meeting. This Committee is a group of parents who have children with special needs in the Burlington Schools. The Committee, along with the Director of Special Services, meets regularly to:
  • 1) strengthen connections and communication between parents and the school district regarding special education services and supports for students;

  • 2) discuss programs and issues in general, not individual student/child concerns, and

  • 3) Connect with other parents for resource ideas and support.

    • The Special Needs Parent Support Committee meets monthly on the second Monday night from 7-8:30 pm at the BSD district offices, Ira Allen Building, 150 Colchester Ave., across from Fletcher Allen Hospital and next to Trinity College.

    We hope that you will join us for informal conversation and support. Please feel free to bring a neighbor or Burlington resident who has a child with special needs with you!

    Periodically, we need to cancel a meeting due to significant weather concerns. If this occurs, we will post a sign, contact everyone on our sign in list and let the local radio stations know. You may also call the Special Services Office, 864-8456 to confirm the date of a meeting or to get on the Advisory Committee e-mail list.
