Community Advisory Committees (CAC)
Community Advisory Committees (CACs) are a vital component of effective Special Education programs in California. They are commissioned by law and are a reflection of the community they serve. CACs are composed of parents, educators, pupils and adults with disabilities, representatives of public and private agencies, and persons concerned with the needs of individuals with disabilities. They are appointed by their governing boards in accordance with locally determined selection procedures described in the Local Plan.
