Referral for Special Education:
The referral process starts with recommendations from either: (a) teachers, (b) parents, or (c) other professionals. If a student is determined to be eligible for special education an Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD)/Individual Education Program (IEP) Committee meeting is held. Committee members discuss and agree upon an appropriate educational program and placement for the student.
