Resources for Families

 
Students succeed when their parents share in the responsibility of developing their educational plans.  This active role requires parents to have information about the special education process and requirements.
       

Guide to Special Education and other Legal Information

 
This guide has been written to help parents and other educational decision-makers understand the special education process. Special education is not a place to which one or a group of students in a school goes; it is supportive services that are given to students so that they may progress in and be a part of the general education curriculum. All students are general education students and all students benefit from their parents being involved in their education, not just the special education part of it.
