State
Advisory Council for Special Education (SACSE)
2003-2004
(Date indicates expiraton of term)
Mandated by IDEA 1997 and state law, each state
must have an advisory council comprised of educational officials
and parents. A majority of the list must be parents. The purpose
of the council is to assist the Superintendent in shaping
special education policies assuring effective delivery of
services to special education students. This is a new body,
expanded in number and scope from previous advisory councils.
Its members are appointed by the Superintendent, serve a maximum
of two terms, and serve in rotating one, two, and three year
terms during the first triennium since its founding. Each year
since 1998, individuals have been appointed for either a one,
two or three year initial term, assuring an annual rotation of
membership in the future.
OPU is publicizing this list as a public service to all parents
with children who have special needs. The state roster does not
include detailed contact information for its members, yet
parents in the State of Oregon are expected to play an active
part in providing information this council and its members. OPU
encourages parents to contact individual advisory council
members whose interests or location are convenient to them, and
to raise issues that then can be addressed in the quarterly,
annual, and committee meetings of the council.
In the past, public presence at the regular meetings of this
council has been dismal. By providing this contact information,
OPU hopes that parents will now have a "handle" and a name and
face they can attach to their concerns in seeking persons of
influence in the state special education system. There is a
calendar of events and the dates and locations of regular
meetings can be secured by calling the state employees whose
names appear at the top of the list. Some calendared information
appears on the web site below.
