Special Education Services

Every child deserves an education, and the Special Education Services department is dedicated to providing child-centered programming options accessible to all children regardless of race, gender, economic status, physical, emotional or cognitive abilities.
 
We empower students by preparing them for future education, employment and independent living opportunities. We do this through the development of academic and social-emotional skills.
 
Special Education is a supplementary program that addresses the provision of a free and appropriate education to students with special needs, including students with a variety of disabilities requiring additional services or assistance in order to make educational progress. Federal and State legislation define the specific disabilities to be served and the services provided to eligible students.
