Individual Education Program Team
A student's disabilities and needs are determined by an Individual Education Program Team comprised of individuals familiar with the student and knowledgeable in special education. Teams include general education teachers, special education teachers, school psychologists, parents, related services personnel and school administrators. This team determines if a student qualifies as a student with a disability and what services are needed.
Further questions regarding special education services can be directed to Kathy Rogers, Director of Student Services at 715-243-7409
