Special Education

An Individualized Education Planning (IEP) meeting involving parent(s)/guardian(s), the student and relevant school staff is conduct-ed annually for all students with disabilities. The IEP team determines the courses, transition needs and graduation requirements for each student with disabilities.

Most students with disabilities will participate in general education classes and progress toward the standard requirements for graduation. Most students will also participate in district and statewide assessments and will be offered appropriate testing accommodations.

Students with more significant developmental, academic or behavioral needs may participate with modified or alternative curriculum and graduation requirements defined by their EIP team. Some students will work toward individual standards. Other students who are exempt from district and/or statewide assessments will participate in alternate assessment. The type and amount of special education support a student receives is determined by the student’s IEP.
