The Network for Special Programs is a PTA Committee that functions as a support for students and their families.  We can assist by navigating, along with you, the multi-step process from identifying the issues, the school intervention team, thru the Special Education Committee meeting.  Knowledgeable Parent Members can help outline the process, attend meetings, inform you of our school district resources, and connect you to other families with similar issues.  All carried out confidentially and with the collaboration of the Director of Special Education, the Education Team, teachers, family and Network parents.

This valuable service is available in your community and if you have any questions and/or concerns related to Special Education, the “Network” is here to be a support for you.  The Committee can be contacted through the Special Education office at 937-3600 Ext. 3020 or the PTA Information Line, 937-3600 Ext. 3826.  For announcements of our programs call the PTA Announcement Line at Ext. 3828.
