SPECIAL EDUCATION

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law that makes available to children with disabilities a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE).

Carlisle Local Schools provides a continuum of special education programs and services. Children ages 3-21, who are identified in the public school system as a child with a disability, are eligible for these services and supported through an Individualized Education Program (IEP).

Objectives

1. All special needs students will be successful to their fullest potential.

2. All special needs students will participate in the least restrictive learning environment.

3. Teachers, staff, students, and families will take personal responsibility for meeting the individual needs of students to ensure success in academics and social areas throughout their entire school experience.
