Special Education
The Pupil Personnel Services Department provides a full range of services to all children ages 3 to 21 who have been identified and evaluated in accordance with IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Act; PL.94-142).
Pupil Personnel Services provides special education services and programs for children with various educational disabilities.
Special education services are intended to meet each student's individual needs and enhance their strengths and are designed to assure that children with disabilities receive appropriate and equal opportunities for educational growth.
Any parent/guardian who suspects that their child may have an educational disability may make a written referral to their school’s principal or to the Director of Pupil Personnel Services.
