Special Education

A child’s eligibility for special education services is based on whether or not a qualified team of professionals determines the presence of a disability, the need for specially designed instruction and/or related services, and an adverse effect on the child’s education as part of an Evaluation Team Report (ETR). Information about the child will be collected from the parents/guardian, teachers, school psychologist, school nurse, and if necessary related service providers. In collaboration with the parents/guardian, the school will determine if the student is eligible for special education services. If the child is eligible, and Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting will be held. If the child does not qualify for special education services, appropriate modifications and/or interventions will be developed to ensure that the child is successful.
