Welcome to the website for SEPTA of Oldham County located in Kentucky.

A SEPTA is a PTA that brings together people that are interested in Special Education and the needs of exceptional children.  Its membership consists mainly of parents, other family members, teachers, and administrators who come together to build partnerships in the school setting.  SEPTA also works with existing PTA’s and members of the community to ensure that children receiving special education services of any kind, will be better understood, integrated, and embraced by our schools and our community.
