Exceptional Student Education (ESE)

Placement for Students with Disabilities

Individual Education Plan (IEP) teams determine the appropriate ESE program placement for students with disabilities based on their individual needs. School administrators use this information to determine classroom(s) and teacher(s) to which the student will be assigned. Specially designed Instruction will be provided by an ESE teacher or other service provider in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) as determined by the IEP team. In most cases, this will be in the regular education classroom with non-disabled peers, but some ESE students may require instruction in a separate environment for a portion of the day. Changes to a student’s placement requires an IEP team review. A continuum of services is provided throughout the district.
