Parent's Guide to Special Education
Quincy Public Schools recognizes that many students have learning challenges. To meet these needs, we offer a wide array of programs - everything from extra assistance in a regular classroom setting to substantially separate intensive, therapeutic environments. Intervention can begin as early as pre-school and continue on through high school.
Please contact our Director of Special Education at

current QPAC brochure. Quincy Parent Advisory Council (Q.P.A.C.) to Special Education is a
formally organized group of parents and other interested persons committed to
the best possible services for children with special needs. The council,
established in 1977, functions under the state mandate for MA regulations. The
parent Advisory Council meets monthly. Meetings provide information,
insights, techniques and encouragement through informal discussions and
special presentations.

http://www.QuincyPAC.org In 1984, the Quincy School Committee established a permanent Subcommittee
on Special Education. The purpose of this subcommittee is to provide the
School Committee with direction on the issues and programs which effect more
than 1,500 special education students in our school system. Subcommittee
meetings are held in conjunction with QPAC and offer a forum for parents,
staff and administration to meet with School Committee members to address
special education issues. This group of parents meets periodically throughout
the school year. Please visit the
QPAC website for updates on the Special Education Subcommittee meeting
schedule.
