Special Education

If you think that your child may have a disability and need special education services, you should contact your child's teacher or the Lead Teacher at the school your child attends. The referral process starts with a Child Study Committee meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to identify the recommended strategies to address your child's learning, behavior, communication or development. The committee may make a referral for evaluation for special education and related services at any time.
