Special Education

The purpose of special education is to minimize the impact of the disability and maximize the opportunity for the student to participate in school. The district's Special Education Department provides guidance and support to schools and families to ensure students are provided the specialized instruction and related services they require to succeed academically, as outlined in the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Parents who believe their child is in need of special education and/or wish to learn more about their rights under IDEA may contact the district's Special Education Department.
