What is the CAC?
The CAC is a group of parents, educators, service providers, and others who advocate for the needs of students with disabilities of all kinds and their families.
The CAC is mandated by the California Education Code (Sections 56190-56194), which states that each Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) must form a CAC.
Our local plan area includes all of the school districts in Modoc County.

CAC Person of the Year Stan Yagi, proprietor of Antonio's Cucina Italiana, was selected as the 2010-2011 Person of the Year. Stan is very active in the community and does what he can to support the needs of the students in Alturas.
Each year, the CAC sponsors a Recognition Dinner where members of the community are recognized for their contributions to people with exceptional needs.
Nomination forms are distributed to all school sites, to each Special Education student, and to local agencies and programs who work with the special needs population in Modoc County. Annually, approximately 500 forms are sent out.
Each person or group who is nominated receives a framed certificate recognizing their contributions to our community. The CAC votes on and selects at least one nominee as the Person of the Year. An engraved plaque is presented to the Person(s) of the Year, and the name(s) is on a perpetual plaque, which can be seen at the Modoc County Office of Education.
These individuals have all been instrumental in helping persons with special needs in a wide range of activities and are very deserving of this recognition. The CAC meets the second Wednesday of each month, with the exceptions of July and December. The meetings are held at 1:00 p.m. at the Modoc County Office of Education, 139 Henderson Street, Alturas.
