Special Education
A continuum of special education services are available for students who have a disability as defined by criteria established by the Department of Education and who demonstrate the need for special education and related services.
A special education case manager will team with parents and regular education teachers in developing an Individual Education Plan [ IEP ].
An initial plan will address the student’ s progress in the regular education curriculum. Progress toward academic standards will be revised annually by a team that includes parents, regular education teachers, special education teachers and administrators.
The plan will describe the student’ s participation in the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment [ MCA ] testing and other district-wide testing as well as the special education and related services the student needs.
Section 504 Accommodation
Students who are determined to have“ a substantial limitation in a major life activity” by a multidisciplinary team may have a 504 Accommodation Plan. The Accommodation Plan will describe accommodations which the team, inclusive of parents, has determined to be necessary to allow the student to access instruction.
Accommodations may include, but are not limited to, modified assignments, untimed tests, adaptive equipment, assigned seating or adjusted schedule.
Students who are placed on a 504 Accommodation Plan will participate in the state and local assessment of academic standards.
