Section 504

Serving Students and Families

The Office of Special Services directs and supports the implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for students with disabilities ages 3 to 21.  The office promotes evaluation, educational services, and programs for all students with special needs that will enable them to lead productive and independent lives.

Beliefs:

• Every student with a disability can learn. 

• Students with disabilities and their families are an integral part of every diverse learning community.

• Students with disabilities have the right to a quality education that maximizes their potential in the least restrictive environment.

• Every staff member has the responsibility to teach, support, and encourage all students with disabilities. 

• Special education is a continuum of services, not a place.
