Special
Education: An education program individually
designed for an exceptional student. A special education professional
is directly invoved as either a consultant, a service provider or
a classroom teacher.
Determining
Eligibility: A student may be exceptional if both qualifications are met. (1) The student must
have an identified physical, sensory, mental or emotional disability
or be mentally gifted. (2) The student demonstrates
a need for special education services as determined by an
IEP Team that typically is composed of a regular education teacher,
a special education teacher, a district representative and the student's
parents.
Program:
Programming for students with disabilities is differentiated through
the IEP (Individualized Education Program) process. In many
instances, more frequent and sometimes more intensive strategies,
adaptations and accommodations are provided than would normally
be present in regular education programs. The degree of service
for exceptional students is contingent upon individual needs. In order to provide an appropriate education in the least restrictive
environment, the district provides a continuum of placement options
with the necessary resources to implement each student's IEP.
Gifted
support services include appropriate opportunities for individual
acceleration and relevant enrichment.
Parent
To Parent: Parent to Parent is a District support group for parents/guardians of students who receive Special Education Services. The mission is to help parents be better advocates for their children. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month at the High School Library, 7:30 p.m., and feature guest speakers.
