Special Education
Students who have communication, learning, cognitive, social, emotional, physical, or other health disabilities may be eligible for Special Education Services. Students who qualify for service will receive a continuum of service based on individual need. This service is determined by the Individual Education Plan (IEP) team and is written in the student’s IEP. Courses cover English, social studies, science, math, individualized instruction, and more. If you have questions or want more information about special education services, please visit the District 197 Special Programs (new link) website.
