Mission:
Our mission is to empower each learner to succeed in our diverse and changing world by delivering a broad array of services, which improve the total education of students with special needs.
Vision:
We envision people residing, working, learning and playing together in a community where the quality of life is enriched, and individual differences of all members of society are valued. Our district is working toward becoming an inclusive community where all persons, including those with disabilities, will reside, grow, and benefit by interacting with each other at home, at school and in the community.
Local Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC)
The local SEAC functions in an advisory capacity for the provision of special education service in Bemidji Area Schools. Their mission is to advocate for the development and continuous improvement of quality special education services to students, ages birth to 21, in the Bemidji Area Schools.
The committee meets every other month during the school year. Questions or comments can be directed to any of the SEAC members. If you are interested in joining SEAC, please contact Tricia Denzer, Special Education Director.
