Services for Exceptional Children

The Services for Exceptional Children Department ensures equitable access to inclusive education by partnering with schools, families, and communities to build capacity, strengthen integrity, and promote lifelong success for students with disabilities. We do so by:

• embedding special education specific supports within the Standards Mastery Framework;
• guiding school-leaders in meeting the expectations set forth in federal, state, & local rules and regulations;
• providing explicit professional learning experiences and job embedded growth opportunities for special education staff; and
• embracing and embodying the mindsets of inclusivity, access to challenging curriculum, and high expectations.
