Española Public Schools will provide full educational opportunity to all
children with disabilities, including by taking steps to ensure that
children with disabilities have access to the same program options that
are available to non-disabled children.
The Mission of the Special Education Department is to ensure academic
success for all students in the Española Public Schools to the fullest
extent possible. Our vision is to identify students with disabililites
and provide specially designed instruction and supports for academic
achievement. The Special Education Department believes parents are a
partner in their child's education and provide monthly parent workshops
and training sessions. We support our students and families by providing
high quality instruction in the classrooms.
The Special Education Department provides support and technical
assistance to schools in order to support students with disabilities and
programs. In addition, this department provides and direct services to
students, and is responsible for managing district responses to legal,
regulatory, and budgetary matters.
