Fairfax County SEPTA has written two resolutions for its membership to consider for adoption at the January 19, 2021 General Membership Meeting. One is a resolution on restraint and seclusion, while the other focuses on special education funding, services and training.

NOTE: THE SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDING, SERVICES AND TRAINING RESOLUTION PROPOSAL HAS BEEN UPDATED 1/17/21

Resolutions, unlike Position Statements, must be voted on by the general membership. We will hold that vote at the opening of the meeting on January 19, 2021. Only current SEPTA members may cast a vote. If you are unsure of your membership status, please e-mail our Vice President, Amanda Campbell, at vicepresident@fairfaxcountysepta.org. If you would like to join, please see our membership form at fcsepta.ptboard.com. Use School Code SN75N5 if asked.

Please see the documents linked below for the full text of each resolution. There are 4 documents in total – two per resolution. The first document of each is the resolution alone, the other includes the rationale/references/sources used to create the resolution. If you have any questions in advance of the meeting, please email our Advocacy Chair, Diane Cooper Gould, at advocacy@fairfaxcountysepta.org.
