The South
Colonie Special Education PTA or SEPTA is special PTA unit
chartered in 2009 to help parents advocate for children with
special needs. Special Education is free appropriate education in
the least restrictive environment for children who require
differentiated programs and/or special services beyond the normal
provided by the regular school program.
SEPTA is a unit organized for those interested in the issues of educating gifted and special needs children. The SEPTA unit meetings every other month, at 6:30 p.m., in the Colonie Central High School library (see meeting dates in right column).
We invited every parent, guardian, teacher, administrator, staff member of community member to join us and become a member of our unit. If you would like to become a member, please complete the SEPTA enrollment form and return it to your child's school in an envelope marked SEPTA membership or mail to:
Kim Stey
SEPTA Membership Chair

New York State PTA Reacts to Governor's Proposed Budget Cuts for 2010-11
Posted on february 15, 2010
The education, health and welfare of children are the “special
interest” of New York State PTA. The state’s investment in
public education empowers our children to preserve the
principles of democracy. For this reason, as decision makers, we
ask that you recognize that children and education must be our
“shared interest”. For more on the NYS PTA reaction to the
Governor's state budget proposal,
