Locations of Specialized Classrooms for Students Receiving Special Education Services (by cluster)

A Special Note about Specialized Program Locations

In alignment with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), our district is committed to providing a full continuum of special education services to meet the diverse needs of students who receive special education services. This includes access to specialized classrooms, which are strategically located across the district to ensure equitable access to specialized support and instruction.

Specialized classrooms are designed for students whose Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) indicate the need for a more intensive level of service and support than can be provided in the general education setting. Placement decisions are made through the IEP process and are based on each student’s unique needs, not on their disability category alone.

We remain committed to ensuring that all students have access to High-Quality Tier 1 instruction, meaningful participation with general education peers, and the supports necessary to achieve positive educational outcomes.

Specialized Program locations by cluster and school are current as of June 1, 2025. This information is subject to change. Please note that individual student program decisions are dependent upon specific needs outlined in each student’s IEP. While program decisions are a function of the IEP team, the location of where services are provided are not a decision of the IEP team. Please access the link to locate programs by schools within each cluster.
