What's Special about Special Education?
An overview of programs and services for students with learning needs.
OVERVIEW
The Haslett Public School District offers a full continuum of program/service options designed to meet the individual needs of eligible students with disabilities from birth through age 26 who attend a public or non-public school within the Ingham Intermediate School District boundaries. This is to include students who are homeless, wards of the state, and students of migrant workers.
Our district has approximately 330 students receiving Special Education services, which represents about 12% of the school population. The district is committed to providing special education to students in the least restrictive environment to meet their individual needs. Special Education students attend general, special, and co-taught educational classes in our district.
While the emphasis is placed on educating all students in integrated settings to the maximum extent appropriate, placement decisions must be based on individual student needs and desired outcomes, and must be rooted in the Individual Educational Planning Team (IEPT) process. Parent involvement is an integral part of programming.
