    The School District of Clayton works cooperatively with the Special School District (SSD) of St. Louis County to provide services for students with disabilities.  For more information, visit the Special School District of St. Louis County's website HERE.

    The Clayton PAC.ED encourages families to become familiar with the Special School District (SSD) website. It contains valuable information and resources to assist families as they collaborate with school teams and advocate on behalf of their student(s).

    The mission of the Special School District (SSD) Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is to effectively collaborate with and advise its stakeholders (including parents/guardians, the SSD Board of Education, Governing Council, SSD administration and staff, and partnering school district administrators and staff) in order to improve the educational, self-efficacy, and social outcomes of each student served by SSD. 

    The PAC consists of five parents or guardians – one voting member and four alternates – from each of the 22 (twenty-two) St. Louis County school districts and 5 (five) SSD schools.

    The SSD PAC is legislatively mandated and operates as a separate organization from the School District of Clayton PACED.  However, due to the nature of the "dual district" structure that exists uniquely in St. Louis County, both organizations benefit from ongoing engagement, support, and collaboration. It is not uncommon for members of the Clayton PACED to represent the School District of Clayton on the SSD PAC.

    SSD PAC meetings are held virtually via Zoom from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. every 2nd Wednesday of the month August through May, except for March. All meeting are open to the public. Prior meetings are available for viewing on YouTube.
