SPECIAL EDUCATION

The Student Services Department coordinates programs and resources for students with special needs. This includes needs that might be academic, behavioral/emotional, or physical/medical. The Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal special education law that requires school districts to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to eligible children with disabilities. A free appropriate public education means special education and related services, described in an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and provided to children in the least restrictive environment, once a complete IEP team determines and agrees a student is found eligible. Special Education support services are provided for students meeting eligibility criteria for one or more of the following:

CHILD FIND - Identifying Children with Disabilities

Marcola School District seeks assistance locating children with disabilities (birth through age 21) who have not graduated from high school and who are not currently attending or receiving other special services from public schools. Oregon and federal law mandate educational services for children with disabilities. Parents, guardians and anyone who knows of a child (ages 5 through 21) with a disability, currently not receiving educational services, are asked to contact the Student Services Department.
