Special Education
Every learner is empowered for a lifetime of success.
The Special Education Team is committed to educating students ages 3 through 22 with identified educational disabilities. Individualized services are designed to meet each student’s unique needs within the least restrictive environment.
To view the definitions of education disabilities the district must work within, please view the ADE Disability Categories site.
