The Office of Student, Community and Academic Supports’ monitoring of special education is aligned with federal IDEA legislation.
System Design
The School Support System is designed to align with best practice efforts and supports the following beliefs and assumptions:
- An assigned category or level of special need does not define the educational needs of students.
- To the maximum extent possible, students with exceptionalities are meaningfully included in the general education program.
- The curricula are based on standards that are sufficiently broad to support the learning needs of all students and include academic and skill areas.
