SOUTH EAST SANTA CLARA SPECIAL EDUCATION LOCAL PLAN AREA (SELPA)
Welcome!
In 1977, all school districts and county offices of education were mandated to form consortiums in geographical regions of sufficient size and scope to provide special education services for children with disabilities residing within the region boundaries. These regions are called Special Education Local Plan Areas (SELPAs).
The SELPA is responsible for assuring program availability for all students with disabilities. To achieve this task, the SELPA assists districts with program development and coordinates regional programs within the SELPA. The SELPA provides technical assistance and administrative support to the districts within the SELPA to ensure compliance with state and federal requirements. Additionally, the SELPA provides staff development and training for educators and the community.
