Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs) are developed by a Planning and Placement Team (PPT) for which parents and guardians are essential team members. The IEP includes special education instruction and related services, if needed, in the least restrictive environment delivered by certified and/or licensed staff members. Our goal, as a district, is to provide special education services utilizing inclusion and support in the general education setting, to the maximum extent possible, and to provide each student access to a rigorous curriculum as well as school sponsored activities.
