Did you know California’s Advisory Commission on Special Education (ACSE) helps shape special education policy across the state? Established under federal and state law, ACSE advises the Governor, Legislature, State Board of Education, and State Superintendent on issues impacting students with disabilities, including student outcomes, family engagement, inclusive services, teacher preparation, and more. Made up of parents, individuals with disabilities, educators, and other stakeholders, ACSE meetings are open to the public, providing opportunities for community voice and engagement in California’s special education system.
