SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

Before a student with special education needs may start, the current IEP must be received and reviewed by the director of special education. Depending on the student’s placement needs, his or her “home” school placement may change. There may also be a delay in the student’s start time as an appropriate placement is secured. All reasonable efforts will be made to resume the student’s education as soon as possible.
