Parent Advisory Committee
The WISD Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) exists to serve two basic functions:
- To advise the WISD Board of Education on matters pertaining to special education; and
- To fulfill those responsibilities designated in PA 451. The PAC also facilitates communication, awareness, and involvement between parents, local districts, Boards of Education/Boards of Directors and the Intermediate School District.
Transition Services
The ultimate goal of the Washtenaw Intermediate School District (WISD), Special Education Department is the successful transition of all students from school to post-school activities - whether postsecondary education, vocational training, integrated employment, continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living or community participation.
Transition planning is the foundation for IEP planning process. The purpose of this website is to assist all stakeholders (students, teachers, families, and other school personnel) in developing and implementing the Transition IEP and transition planning throughout the secondary years.

July 19: Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
This workshop will introduce folks to sustainable and organic methods of dealing with pests(including weeds) in the garden. Participants will learn the reasons for the existence of pests, the greater role they play in the natural world, and how to combat and promote a pest free environment in the garden.
