Initially, the Student Services Department was responsible for oversight of special education, health services and early childhood.  In 2005, the scope broadened to include many aspects of general education and intervention. The District has realized the positive outcome of central office reorganization and oversight to include information, programs and services for all students under one department. This model supports a cohesive, collaborative approach to meeting the needs of all of our students, pre-k-grade 12 (or 21 years old) across all schools.
The goal of Student Services is to support the schools’ work in meeting the varied profiles of all of our unique learners. Toward meeting the goal of high achievement for all of our students, Student Services focuses on the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of structures/frameworks, procedures/protocols, programs and interventions.
