Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School provides a comprehensive Special Education Program for eligible students. To be admitted into the Special Education Program, a student must have an existing Individual Education Plan (IEP) or be referred to the Building Screening Committee through the student’s school counselor if an educational disability is suspected. Academic, behavioral, social and vocational needs are addressed in creating each student’s IEP. Support for meeting State Benchmarks is designed for each student through the IEP process. Students and parent(s)/guardian(s) are expected to participate as members of the IEP team. Your students’ Case Manager will guide your student in selecting the courses based upon you/your student’s IEP.
