The Exceptional Student Services Department meets the individual needs of students ages three through twenty-one who are eligible for special education and related services according to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The department assists in the assessment process for determining special education eligibility.
A full continuum of services is available, ranging from the least restrictive to more restrictive environments, depending on the specific needs of the student. The department also supports schools in ensuring students with disabilities appropriately access the curriculum and provides specialized instruction as determined necessary by the Individualized Education Program (IEP).
In collaboration with students, schools, families, and the community, the Special Education Department assists students with disabilities in increasing academic performance and enhancing post-secondary options.
Notice of IEP Implementation: If your child qualifies for an Individualized Education Program (IEP), services will be implemented on days public school programs and the servicing school are in operation during the regular school year. Scheduled IEP services are not delivered on, or made up on, days the district or servicing school closes for any reason, such as inclement weather, holiday, partial days, professional learning days, early release days, and summer, unless specified in the Extended School Year section of the IEP.
