(Parent Advocacy Council for Education in the Morris School District)

P.A.C.E is a parent-to-parent support and advocacy group whose goal is to work towards the understanding of, respect for, and support of optimum education for all children with special learning needs.

 P.A.C.E. Goals

• Create a partnership based on cooperation and mutual understanding between parents and the school district

• Create a supportive parent community and a forum for gathering information and learning from one another

• Encourage parent involvement in and advocacy of their child's education

• Present and participate in programs of interest related to special education and learning differences

• Promote understanding of children with special learning needs

Throughout the year, P.A.C.E sponsors presentations and workshops. We also maintain a list of events sponsored by local organizations and groups found on the P.A.C.E. Website.
