Special Education provides all programming and support for students eligible for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Special Education services are provided in the least restrictive environment for students (ages 3-22) through a continuum of options. Teachers, administrators, and families work collaboratively to develop individualized educational programs that provide support ensuring students can successfully access the academic, social, and emotional opportunities available at school.
