Special Education
About
The school district employs special education teachers and related service personnel to deliver specially designed instruction and services for students with disabilities based on the unique needs of a child with a disability in accordance with the accepted IEP. Each school in the district has access to special educators, speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other related service personnel as may be required based on the unique needs of children with disabilities.
At grades 4 - 12, the school principal and other school administrators work in collaboration with the school’s Special Education Coordinator to provide oversight and daily supervision of special education personnel and services.
Each school in the district has a person who is the primary contact for special education. The primary roles and responsibilities are summarized below. Please use the listed phone numbers to contact the appropriate person at your child’s school.
