Special Education

Special education services are mandated by federal law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Under this law, some children may be eligible for the following services:

• Assessment: An individualized assessment to determine eligibility for services under one of the designated categories.
• Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE): Education services that are appropriate in the least restrictive environment.
• Individualized Education Plan (IEP): Each child eligible for special education services will have a written education plan, reviewed at least annually.
