Southwest SELPA: Notice of Public Hearing - May 22, 2025

 

Southwest SELPA

All school districts and county school offices are required to form geographical regions of sufficient size and scope to provide for all special education service needs of children residing within the region's boundaries. Each region (Special Education Local Plan Area, or SELPA) develops a local plan describing how it will provide special education services. SELPAs also support Community Advisory Committees (CAC). CAC is made up of school administrators, staff members, SELPA parents, and members of the community. Hermosa Beach City School District is part of the Southwest SELPA.

The law also provides that parents may initiate a request to have their child assessed to determine eligibility for special education and/or related services. Requests should be in writing and submitted to:
