About SEAC
Actively seeking input from students and parents, SEAC is the Special Education Advisory Council comprised of designated, representative parents of student receiving special education services from each educational site in Westonka (Early Childhood, Shirley Hills, Hilltop, Grandview Middle School and Mound Westonka High School), as well as a member of Westonka’s School Board.
