Vision

We envision a dynamic and responsive learning community of general and special education for students with disabilities where

  • Everyone is united in a common commitment to ensuring success for each child
  • Children have access to general education curriculum with high expectations and standards to create a better future for themselves and others
  • Everyone works together to set and achieve the highest possible standards, both academic and behavioral, and to be accountable for results
  • There is a shared understanding among all staff, students, and families of expectations, roles, and responsibilities
  • Special education processes are participant friendly and promote collaboration with a focus on the needs of the child
  • Parents and children are heard and understood, and their input is valued
  • All staff are valued, as professionals, for their knowledge, experience, and competence
  • Supports and resources are provided to schools, staff, students, and families to meet the assessed needs of children
  • A comprehensive range of instructional services is available
  • Staff and families are supported and best practices are promoted through comprehensive staff development and family training opportunities
  • Services are coordinated with community resources to support children and their families.
