Each year the Community Advisory Committee for Special Education (CACSpEd) recognizes and celebrates the individuals and groups who support, inspire and teach students with exceptional needs in the San Francisco Unified School District.  We are grateful to all individuals who are allies to our students. Their efforts and kindness make a difference.

Please join the CAC on April 27 as we celebrate this year's AWE award winners. We can’t wait to share this special evening with you. CAC General Meetings are hybrid and open to the public. The public can attend in person at 555 Franklin Street in the Irving G Breyer Board Room or watch the meeting on Zoom. Please register in advance for this meeting.
