Special Education ServicesThe school has the responsibility of identifying, locating, andevaluating individuals with disabilities who are 4–21 years of ageand who fall within the school’s jurisdiction. If you know or suspectthat your child has a disability, please contact the Campus SpecialEducation/504 Coordinator for information about availableprograms, assessments, and services.Special education services are specifically designed to meet theunique needs of students with disabilities. Each student whoreceives special education services has an Individual EducationPlan (“IEP”) which is developed by the student’s Admission,Review, and Dismissal (“ARD”) Committee. The ARD Committeeconsiders the student’s disability and determines appropriateaccommodations, supplementary aids, and/or services that arenecessary for the student to participate in the general curriculum.All special education services are provided in the least restrictiveenvironment which may be special education settings, generaleducation settings, or a combination of both. All studentsreceiving special education services are educated to the maximumextent appropriate with their non-disabled peers as well asparticipating in all school activities on the same basis as studentswho are not disabled.The Notice of Procedural Safeguards – Rights of Parents ofStudents with Disabilities can be obtained from the SpecialEducation Coordinator.Section 504 ServicesHarmony Public Schools provides a free appropriate publiceducation to each qualified student with a disability, regardless ofthe nature or severity of the student’s disability. A “student with adisability” is one who has a physical or mental impairment thatsubstantially limits one or more of the student’s major lifeactivities, has a record of having such an impairment, or isregarded as having such an impairment. A student with a disabilityis “qualified” if he or she is between the ages of three and 21,inclusive.An appropriate education is the provision of regular or specialeducation and related services that are (1) designed to meet thestudent’s individual educational needs as adequately as the needsof students who do not have disabilities are met; and (2) based onadherence to procedures that satisfy federal requirements foreducational setting, evaluation and placement, and proceduralsafeguards.Qualified students with disabilities will be placed in the regulareducational environment, unless the school demonstrates thateducation in the regular environment with the use ofsupplemental aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily.Should an alternate educational environment be necessary, theschool shall comply with all legal requirements regarding leastrestrictive environment and comparable facilities for studentswith disabilities.In providing or arranging for nonacademic and extracurricularservices and activities, the school shall ensure that a qualifiedstudent with a disability participates with students who do nothave disabilities to the maximum extent appropriate.To be eligible for services and protections against discriminationon the basis of disability under Section 504 of the RehabilitationAct, a student must be determined, as a result of an evaluation, tohave a “physical or mental impairment” that substantially limitsone or more major life activities.If a student has or is suspected of having a disability, or requiresspecial services, parents or teachers should contact the CampusSpecial Education/504 Coordinator for information concerningavailable programs, assessments, and services.Services for Title I ParticipantsInformation regarding the school’s Title I program may beobtained from the Principal.TutoringStudents are encouraged and may be required to see teachers ortutors for tutoring.
