November 2025
MassPAC is coming off a record membership year and we are excited to have your district join us in FY2026.
We are excited to announce a key change in our membership benefits - the MassPAC All-Access Workshop Pass. Families and educators in your district will be able to attend a FCSN workshop of their choice every week throughout the school year. Each week, FCSN will host 4 virtual workshops on Monday through Thursday: one each of our 3 Basic Rights workshops (Evaluation and Eligibility, Understanding the IEP and Transition Planning) as well as 1 special topic workshop.
This benefit change means families and educators in your community will be invited to a school years' worth of FCSN presentations. Our November workshop calendar is attached for you to share in your community. Your SEPAC will no longer be required to complete a workshop request form. Families and educators in your community can individually register for the workshop(s) of their choice throughout the school year and attend as many as they choose to.
MassPAC membership will also provide:
individual assistance for both SEPACs and Administrators – via email, phone, zoom meetings and/or site visits
group assistance – monthly MassPAC office hours, SEPAC leaders networking, listserv/Google Group
quarterly virtual orientation training for SEPAC Officers
access to SEPAC templates
online resources - SEPAC Toolkit on our website, SEPAC Summer School and other recorded trainings on FCSN YouTube channel
MassPAC member listing on the FCSN website - https://fcsn.org/masspac_
members/ (currently being updated…)
Save the date - March 7, 2026 - for our virtual Visions of Community Conference, more information to come in January.
