The purpose of this committee is to improve the educational performance of all students, regardless of such factors as socioeconomic status, race, gender, language, background or disability.

SEPTA CURRICULUM REPS
The Curriculum Committee keeps up-to-date on and discusses topics related to curriculum and instruction, grading, student placement and co-curricular activities throughout the district. The committee works closely with district administration and serves as a conduit for the school community to provide feedback on these topics. As a SEPTA curriculum rep for your building, you will meet with your school principal, along with the PTA curriculum rep for the building several times a year. Additionally, you will attend monthly PTA Curriculum Committee meetings to discuss current topics relevant for parents and the school community, and participate in quarterly meetings with the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum.
