Special Education

The La Center School District recognizes that students whose disabilities adversely impact educational performance and who require specially designed instruction, can improve their educational performance when they receive special education and related services tailored to fit their needs. The district adopts the state’s full educational opportunity goal to provide students in need of special education services with a free appropriate public education (FAPE). Special education programs for eligible students will be an integral part of the general education programs of this district, and will operate in compliance with federal and state requirements governing special education. The district will provide a continuum of placement options, which may include services within or outside of the district, depending on the student’s needs.
