Special Education

It is with great pleasure that I am tasked with the opportunity to serve the students, staff and community of Washington Court House as the Director of Special Education. My goal is to ensure that all students with disabilities in the Washington Court House City School District are provided a free appropriate public education through the provision of instructional programming and related services. The special education department works collaboratively with building administration in planning, implementing and managing programs and services so that a continuum of services are provided for our students aged 3-21 who are identified as disabled under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA).
