Special Education

Vision Statement

To provide high quality specialized instruction in order to advance independence and promote learning in the least restrictive environment for students identified with special needs.

Special Education & 504 Services

RLAS-116 provides a full continuum of services in the areas of Special Education and Section 504. These services are provided to students who meet specific eligibility requirements outlined by Federal and State Rules and Regulations. Decisions regarding the implementation of services are determined by IEP and 504 teams. The goal of special education and related services is to support each eligible child and address identified needs. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed in collaboration with parents, general education teachers, and special education staff on an annual basis.

Our District Service Providers include:
