Special Education

Welcome to Student Support Services!

The Winooski School District (WSD) is committed to meeting the needs of all children. Under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, we are required to identify and evaluate students who have disabilities and to offer them individualized education programs (IEP) for special education and related services.

An IEP team using a process specified in the law makes decisions regarding the services that are included in an IEP. The IEP team includes a student’s classroom teacher, special educator, parent(s) and a representative of the school district who is empowered to commit resources such as staff time or funding. By law, we are required to carry out provisions outlined in a student’s IEP.

Please feel free to contact our office if you have further questions.

Educationally Yours,
Katherine Blair
