M-SEPAC: Partnership, Integrity and Growth

Mission:  The mission of the M-SEPAC is to work by communicating, evaluating, advocating and educating within the community for understanding of, respect for, and support of all children with special needs in the community and the Marlborough Public Schools.

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Office of Public School Monitoring will conduct an Integrated Monitoring Review of Marlborough Public Schools during the week of Dec. 1. Each school district undergoes this review every three years, focusing on areas such as special education student identification, eligibility timelines, IEP development and procedural requirements.

The review process includes interviews with staff, a review of student records and policies and school visits. Parent, student and teacher focus groups may also be held to gather additional insights. An orientation about the review will be hosted in collaboration with the Special Education Parent Advisory Council. Additionally, a parent survey will be distributed to gather information on special education processes.

Interested parents and stakeholders can contact Monitoring Review Chairperson Jessica McCloskey at (781) 338-3716 for telephone interviews or accommodation requests. A report with findings and required actions will be provided within 60 business days after the visit and will be accessible on the DESE website.
