Supported Education

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), originally signed into law in 1975 by President Ford, represented a national commitment to provide free, appropriate public education for students with disabilities. IDEA requires public school districts to educate students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. This is accomplished when school personnel, in cooperation with parents, choose from a number of options along a continuum to best meeting student individual needs. 

The District 204 delivery model of special education services is called "supported education" or "inclusion."   Clow School and District 204 are dedicated to meeting the needs of all learners.  Special Education questions may be directed to Mrs. Monica Carstens, Student Services Director, or Mrs. Donna Flowers, Support Facilitator.
