Special Education

We are a collaborative community committed to success for every student aged 3 to 22 enrolled in CRPUSD. We believe that inclusive education significantly contributes to the educational experience of all children and seek to maximize opportunities for access and inclusion in the least restrictive environment.

What is Special Education?

As defined by California Education Code (section 56031), special education is:

Specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of individuals with exceptional needs, whose educational needs cannot be met with modification of the general instruction program; and Related Services that help individuals with special needs to benefit from specially designed instruction. Special Education is an integral part of the total public education system. Other features of Special Education are:

  • Services are provided in a way that promotes maximum interaction between students with and without disabilities in a manner which is appropriate to the needs of both;
  • Services are provided at no cost to parents;
  • Services include a full range of program options to meet the educational and service requirements of individuals with exceptional needs in the least restrictive environment (LRE). The LRE is generally the setting that is most similar to those attended by general education students.

Our program supports the whole child, partners with families, and recognizes each child’s unique strengths and needs. We provide a scaffold of supports to ensure that services are individualized and meaningful and that all children are included in their communities. We are committed to creating a positive introduction to CRPUSD, building relationships, and to facilitating successful transitions to elementary school
