Welcome Educators!
Welcome to the 2007/2008 school year! There are many new and exciting things taking place in our SELPA this year such as the implementation of an electronic IEP and special education software designed to improve the process, reducing time spent with necessary paperwork. There are new models for identifying the services and supports a student with special education needs.
We continue to have high expectations for our students and ourselves. Due to the constant need to expand skills and abilities, the staff-development activities will demonstrate a rich variety of methods, strategies and tools to provide the most effective programs possible.
