unanimously approved the founding of KPAC to fulfill three
purposes:
* Advocate for all students with exceptionalities

pertaining to school funding/students with exceptionalities
* Provide input to the Board regarding improvement of programs and
services
In these troubled economic times, many decisions are being
made that affect the quality of programs and services.
Through KPAC, it is hoped that Keystone families will have a
stronger voice in shaping these decisions.
