Special Education
Students may be referred for special education assessment by their parent, teacher or school counselor. All requests for an evaluation are processed through the student study team (SST). State eligibility criteria must be met for a student to receive special education services. Placement services are determined by the individual education plan (IEP) team. All efforts to provide instruction in the least restrictive environment are made.
Students enrolled in special education programs are assigned a case manager who schedules classes, implements the student’s IEP, and serves as a liaison for the student, parent, classroom teacher, administration and academic counselor. Support services such as speech/language therapy, vocational assistance, and counseling are available via San Mateo County Health.
The IEP will indicate the amount of time a student requires Specialized Academic Instruction (SAI) whether in the general education classroom or a separate setting. Students enrolled in the programs offered through the Department of Special Education will be assigned a Special Education case manager who works with the school counselors on student schedules and classes, implements the student’s IEP (Individualized Education Plan) and acts as the liaison for the student, parent, classroom teacher, administration, academic counselor and related service providers.
