While we hope this list will be a source of facts for participants, we would like to point out that this is a DISCUSSION. Therefore, some of the exchange will be opinion and potentially biased. The accuracy and reliability of the sources of the information presented must be judged by list members themselves. The SPED PAC chairs are not responsible for any inaccurate statements made on this list.

1. If messages that are off topic, or not relevant to our group they will not be posted.
2. If your message is a personal reply, or a short comment (i.e. "I agree", "Thanks for information"), the moderator may choose to sent it directly to the person who it was intended and not send it to all the members.   (This will help keep the volume of messages down).
3. We will not post message that include flaming (rude, insulting, derogatory or intentionally disruptive remarks).  Our group list is intended to be a supportive environment.  Although we don't all need to agree, we need to be supportive, respectful and constructive in our comments and differences of opinion.
4. We will not post any message that is purely for commercial purpose, or  purely for advertising someone's business.
5. If your message contains too much personal information about yourself, child, another parent or school personal, your message will not be posted.
6. Individuals are only allowed to post 2 long messages on a single topic per day.  If a 3rd message is posted by the same individual in a given day, it may be rejected at the moderators disgression.  This prevents a single member from dominating the discussion and avoids redundant information.
7. Messages must be in a neat and presentable format.  No postings with extraneous forwarded information on the top and bottom, that have HTML characters, canned messages or cyber advertisements or plain garbage within the email. 
   
8. When forwarding an email please add a personal note on why your are sharing this email and why member would be interested.  This is to help create a discussion and encourage questions.
9. Messages should not contain large document attachments (1-2 pages and 50K or less in size).  When possible, please provide a link to the website the flyer is posted on, so the information can be viewed and/or downloaded by members.
