The South Colonie Special Education PTA or SEPTA is a special PTA unit chartered in 2009 to help parents advocate for children with special needs. Special Education provides a free appropriate education in the least restrictive environment for children who require differentiated programs and/or special services beyond what is typically provided by the general education school program.
