Special Education Services are identified through an education process. An evaluation must be requested and approved to go forth with creating the Individualized Education Plan. Students who qualify for an IEP must meet the criteria covered by the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The IEP is designed to meet the individual student's needs and make progress toward the general education curriculum. The IEP team is made up of the following: parents/guardians, teachers, and related service staff that work together to develop an education plan. The Individualized Education Plan addresses the following: goals, objectives, accommodations/modifications, and services to meet the student's needs. Services are provided through a continuum of the least restrictive environment (LRE). Individualized Education Plans are monitored and progress is reported along with the report card. Progress reports are sent out at the end of the nine weeks with report cards.
