Child Find
As a part of the district’s comprehensive Child Find System, all children age birth through 21 years of age who have disabilities and are living in the school district shall be identified, located, and assessed in regard to their needs for special education and related services. The district ensures the provision of a full educational opportunity for these individuals.
