Parent Advisory Council

The State Support Team Region 15 strives to provide information and support to families and to schools so that qualitative programs address the individual needs of children with disabilities in Lawrence, Pike, Ross and Scioto counties.

Parents who serve on PAC have a two-fold function:

  1. To serve as a contact and source of information and support for other parents of children with disabilities.
  2. To provide a parent's focus on the planning of the SST15 activities for families.
