SPECIAL
EDUCATION
Special
Education programs are available to students who have been identified by
the school as having a disabling condition that significantly interferes
with educational achievement. To be eligible for special education services
and classes, a student must have a complete Case Study Evaluation which
identifies a disability according to Federal, State and local regulations
and an Individual Education Plan which prescribes specific services and
programs. To initiate the process to determine if a student is eligible
for special education services, contact your guidance counselor and request
that your child’s learning be reviewed by our problem-solving team.
