Special Education
The Director of the Committee on Special Education oversees the referral, identification, annual review, and placement of children having, or suspected of having handicapping conditions.
Students in grades K-6 who have been identified by the CSE (Committee on Special Education) as having a handicapping condition are eligible for services. A demonstrated discrepancy between grade placement and achievement is one criterion for this identification and placement.
Special Education instruction is available as a part of the academic program. The goal of Special Education is to provide each child with a specially designed, individual education program (IEP) that will best enable him/her to attain a level of achievement closest to his/her potential in the least restrictive environment.
