Our Focus: All Means All

• Students with disabilities, and their families, are part of the school community.
• High-quality instructional programs in all settings, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), and Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) support increased academic achievement for all students within the school community.
• Efficient systems of compliance help us support students and build positive relationships with families. These systems include IEP timeline compliance, service delivery, and appropriate use of staff. 

Local District South Special Education

Our Special Education staff support improved outcomes for students with disabilities by partnering with families,  working cohesively with other Local District South departments, and providing support to school staff in the areas of instructional practices (academics and behavior), Special Education law and compliance, District policies, and professional development. We believe ALL students deserve a high quality educational experience and equal access to ensure a future of opportunities. School staff are ready to partner with parents and can address most questions and concerns related to Special Education. Local District South staff are also available to assist you and we can be reached at (310) 354-3431.
