EC Parent Advisory Council
The Council is currently working on multiple short videos for parents to help them understand many of the resources that are available to students with disabilities across Cabarrus County Schools as well as to provide an understanding of the many processes and procedures that are in place to ensure that students with disabilities receive the supports necessary for them to be successful in school.
As the parent advisory council moves forward, there will be annual elections for members of the committee. These will generally occur in May each year. If you have any questions, or comments, and/ or would like to be considered for a position on the Parent Advisory Council, please email ECParent@cabarrus.k12.nc.us

New School Opening in Cabarrus County for the 2022-2023 School Year
Two centralized classrooms are being built to accommodate students with intensive disabilities. These classrooms are designed with restroom and changing facilities as well as 'chill out' rooms within the classroom. Kitchen and laundry facilities connected to the classrooms give students opportunities to learn household skills such as washing, drying and folding laundry, and food preparation. The specific type of classrooms (ex: Abilities and Possibilities, Living and Learning, Impact, Structured Learning, Learning Connections) will be determined soon.
