Canton Parent Advisory Council
for Student Services
We are the only volunteer group representing ALL Canton
special needs students associated with the Canton
public schools.
As special
needs parents ourselves, we understand
and act as an advisory group to the Canton
school system and each other. Our goals are
to help promote communication and programs
within the Canton community to encourage greater
understanding, tolerance, acceptance, compassion
and inclusion of special needs children.

Parents are invited to attend a focus group
meeting on Wednesday, February 10 at 7 PM in Rm
138 at Canton High School with Superintendent of
Schools John D’Auria to help shape the hiring
process and the goals for the next Director of
Student Services. Currently, Alan Dewey has
this responsibility for the district and he will
be retiring in August. A Director of Student
Services is charged with overseeing all special
education, nursing, counseling, and specialized
therapies that pertain to students within our
district. Dr. D'Auria will be facilitating this meeting
which is designed as an informal session where
ideas can be exchanged. |
