Parent Supports

Nathan McNamar

Penn Valley Community Advisory Committee Rep.

My name is Nathan McNamar and I live in Penn Valley with my wife and two boys. I currently work as an Applied Learning Coach and Facilitator in the financial sector and have a long history of building successful teams through collaboration and creative thinking. I enjoy using my experience in critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration to the special education process. I have seen that when all the members of an IEP have the same goal, a successful and happy child receiving a fair and appropriate education, great things can happen. My goal is to empower parents of special education students to become an effective team member in their child's education through flexibility, collaboration, knowledge and effective communication with other team members.

One of my boys was born with special needs and I know that many times, parts of the IEP process can seem overwhelming. When this happens or you have any questions, please reach out to me or your district's Special Education Administrator and they will connect you with one of our CAC Parent Representatives that will be glad to help. In addition to representing the Penn Valley community, I am also the President of the CAC for the Nevada County Joint Unified School District. These are both volunteer positions and I am not an employee of the schools or the county.
