About the Event
Supporting SEPAGs: Practical Guidance for District Leaders provided district leaders with practical strategies for supporting effective and sustainable Special Education Parent Advisory Groups (SEPAGs). The webinar focused on three key areas: increasing parent engagement, gathering meaningful input from parents and community members, and building systems that support long-term sustainability and trust. Drawing directly from The BRIDGE Initiative’s research and direct work with these groups, the session highlighted ways districts can strengthen family engagement even when formal parent leadership structures are still developing.
