What is the mission of SELAC at Compass?
The mission of the Compass SELAC is to advocate for all children at The Compass School; especially those with exceptionalities. The SELAC Committee is made up of a group of parents, professionals and concerned citizens who are dedicated to connecting all families with individuals and agencies offering information and support in developing, planning and preparing for the education process required to meet their child’s needs.
