SEPTAR meets on the third Tuesday evening of each month. Our virtual meetings are open to the public and are centered around an informational discussion and/or presentation on a variety of topics.

Membership is open to anyone with an interest in special education. You do not need to have a child in the Redwood City School District to join. Annual fees start at $10.
