SPECIAL EDUCATION

School Year: 2023-2024  /  Number of Courses: 109

Department Overview

The Special Education course offerings are divided into three levels: MildModerate (MM), Moderate (MOD) (formerly known as LH/S may include AF and Adult Transition for some classes), and ModerateSevere (MS) (formerly known as SH). Students must have designated services through the IEP process to take special education courses. All Special Education coursework is aligned with the IEP, as well as Content and Performance Standards. Students in RSP programs are fullyincluded in general education throughout the day unless the IEP team determines that a MildModerate special education class is most appropriate.
