Special Education

Close this window

Programs for students with educational or physical handicaps, speech, or language problems are provided at each school site, coordinated through the district's Special Education Department.

Students receive services through a Learning Center, with a Special Day program at the middle school.

We work closely with the Placer County Office of Education to meet the requirements of IDEA. Every effort is made to ensure that students are able to function successfully, compete academically, and gain social skills as they progress through school.

Parents play a vital role in the delivery of services for students with special needs. Parents meet annually with specialists to determine their child's needs and design a program for their child.

Direct any questions to the Special Education Department at (530) 745-8816.
