Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities

North Andover Parents Advisory Council for Children with Special Needs (NAPAC) is currently looking for parent liaisons from each school and or Special Education Program. We need someone who tries to regularly attend their school PTO meeting, and who has a child involved in special education. This will be helpful to NAPAC as we try to institute new intitiatives in the community. It is not necessary to be able to attend all meetings, but to be able to give an update on the state of special education at your school. Please contact Darcy Rubino if you are interested: darcymack@yahoo.com
