Shoreline Special Education PTSA

Our mission is to build community within and between student groups, caregivers and staff, and to advocate for special education students and for equitable, inclusive education for all.  

We envision a Shoreline School District community where every child is valued and authentically included, without segregated special education.  We envision a process where caregivers feel empowered and prepared to support student-centered special education planning in partnership with educators.
