Oceanport ADL’s mission is to facilitate communication between students, parents, staff, the Board of Education, and the community, with regards to issues surrounding the district's special education programs. Our goal is to improve the quality of special education district-wide. All parents of children with diverse abilities who may have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) who are educated in schools within or outside of the student’s home district are invited to be part of the ADL. Parents do not need special training or background knowledge to be a member of a ADL. Other members may include: school leaders, members of the Board of Education, teachers, Child Study Team members, and other school professionals students and former students other parents committed to improving education in their district community leaders and other citizens.
