  13. Special Recognition: Dr. Alan Genovese “Ihave to say that, at present, our PAC has a strong, collaborative, respectful relationship with District Administration as well as with teachers, parents, the community-at-large and the School Committee…. I truly believe that having this kind of relationship is directly related to what a PAC can accomplish in their respective district and how effective they can be.  And, when you have that, it’s amazing what PACs and educational staff/administration can work together to accomplish and subsequently, what can be done and carried out for children – all learners – in the classroom because that is where the ultimate focus should be… on the students….” Nancy Bugbee, President – Groton-Dunstable SpedPAC – Spring, 2010 Quote granted permission for use by Ms. Amanda Green, MassPAC Coordinator/Information Specialist for The Federation for Children with Special Needs at the March, 2010 conference of the Massachusetts Association of Administrators of Special Education in Marlborough, MA GDRSD SpedPAC Annual Presentation
