    The Department of Special Education supports the Individual Educational Programs of students ages three through twenty-one who are eligible for special education and related services within the district. The special education services are provided on a continuum from the least restrictive environments and are contingent upon the educational needs of the students. The department provides a full array of assessments and special education interventions for students requiring such services.
