Members, TCPS families & community partners are always welcome and encouraged to attend our quarterly SECAC meetings. This is an opportunity to become a part of a committee that provides input regarding early intervention and special education programming in Talbot County, as well as help shape the activities and events available to children with special needs and their families. We plan fun social events, family activities, excellent seminars, webinars, training events, and help determine how local SECAC funds will be used.
