Welcome to the Special Education District Advisory Council (SEDAC) webpage!
OUR SHARED PURPOSE:
SEDAC’s purpose is to advise and support high-quality special education and support services for CVUSD students by working collaboratively with the CVUSD Administration and Board of Education on all things related to educational programs, policies, procedures, and specific actions being taken for students who receive special education services.
We are proud that we have fostered strong relationships with fellow District Advisory Councils (DAC) such as GATE, PTSA, Student DAC, and DELAC, as well as community partners such as Boys and Girls Club, Conejo Parks and Recreation, Thousand Oaks Library, Independent Living Resource Center, Rainbow Connection and SELPA.
OUR SHARED VISION:
We believe ALL students can achieve their fullest potential when we all collaboratively work together. We are better together.

Helping students, educators and families develop the heart set, mindset and skill set to celebrate and include students with disabilities is the purpose of the Disability Celebrations Toolkit. The SEDAC Disability Celebrations Committee would like students, staff, and parents to use the Disability Celebration Toolkit as a resource to help build more inclusive spaces and to provide more opportunities for authentic friendships and equitable education for every student.
Please note that the information and resources in the Disabilities Celebration SMORE are recommendations by SEDAC parents/guardians. Carefully review any materials prior to use to determine the appropriateness for your specific students. School site staff determine if the supplementary instructional materials are relevant to curriculum objectives and compatible with district goals and objectives prior to any implementation on the school campus.
