Who We Are

P.A.C.E. (Parent Advocacy Council for Education) is a parent-to-parent support and advocacy group founded by MSD parents in 2008. Our goal is to work towards the understanding of, respect for, and support of optimum education for all children with learning differences.  P.A.C.E. is a registered non-profit in the State of New Jersey.

We plan district-wide presentation on topics of interest pertaining to children with special learning needs. P.A.C.E. also hosts discussion groups throughout the year.  Please see our event calendar on this site for details.  We invite anyone interested in the education and welfare of children to join P.A.C.E., both from within our school district and from communities beyond.

P.A.C.E. Goals:

  • Create a partnership based on cooperation and mutual understanding between parents and the school district
  • Create a supportive parent community and a forum for gathering information and learning from one another
  • Encourage parents to be involved in and advocate for their child's education
  • Present and participate in programs of interest related to special education and learning differences
  • Promote understanding of children with special learning needs
