Instruction

Identification of Special Needs & Abilities

The Board of Education recognizes each student is unique, and, although for most students the regular school program is appropriate, many students have exceptional needs that can’t be met with regular programming only.

The Superintendent of Schools shall:

1. develop and promote regulations and procedures to identify students with exceptional needs;

2. develop plans for assessment and evaluation of specific needs of each student identified to have exceptional needs. The assessment plan shall be a description in ordinary language of procedures, tests, records, or reports proposed for use in student assessments.

The search and assessment plans shall be consistent with provisions of federal and state laws and regulations.
