Rosa Parks Elementary

We Are Here to Serve You

Rosa Parks Special Education Department Overview

In 1993 the District formed the Inclusive Education Taskforce to develop the implementation of inclusive education. In 1996 the task force became the Inclusive Education Advisory Committee.

In 2003 Dr. Kathleen Gee & Dr. Diane Ketelle conducted a comprehensive Special Education study.

Our vision at BUSD is to create and sustain an educational community where each child, respecting of his or her exceptionalities:

  • Is welcomed

  • Is valued,

  • Is appropriately supported,

  • Is safe,

  • Is an equal participant, and

  • Is expected and challenged to learn and achieve.

Together We Persevere to be our Best Selves
