Continuum of Services &
Least Restrictive Environment

Special education services are provided on a continuum from least restrictive to most restrictive.

All services on the continuum are available for consideration to meet student needs. Skaneateles Central Schools provides services and supports to allow all students to access grade level standards and content delivered in regular education along side their grade level peers.

Services and supports are provided in regular education so that the student can make meaningful progress toward IEP goals with supplementary aides and services. Removal from the regular education environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability of the child is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved successfully.
