91大神 Schools鈥� Department of Special Education鈥檚 mission is for students with diverse learning needs to have access to supports that provide educational opportunity at a rigorous, college prep high school.
91大神 Schools supports all special education students according to state and federal laws. No student is denied admission because (s)he is in need of special education services.
We believe that special education is a service, not a place, and that all students have the right to be fully included in the general education classrooms with their typical peers for the greatest extent possible.
We believe in Individualized Education Program (IEP) team members collaborating to develop an appropriate plan that documents their areas of need related to their disability, culturally relevant supports the student needs, and goals associated with areas of need.
We believe all students can access a rigorous, college prep curriculum through thoughtful planning and collaboration.

Parent Guide to Special Education
Special education is a term used by the law to describe the specialized academic instruction that meets the unique needs of a child who has a disability that impairs his/her ability to succeed in the general education environment. These services are provided by the public school system and are free.
91大神 Schools is part of the El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE) Charter Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA). This means we do not belong to San Francisco, Hayward or Oakland Unified School Districts for the purposes of providing special education. New students are processed as Inter-District Transfers and each student transferring to 91大神 Schools will have an IEP meeting in the first thirty days of the student鈥檚 attendance.

Response to Intervention (RTI) is a way to help students experiencing difficulty in school. RTI supports academic, behavioral, and social/emotional needs through systems of data analysis, problem solving, instruction and intervention.
RTI is not a program, but a process: a way to identify students who are at risk, why they are struggling and how the family and school can support them together as a community.
A Student Success Team (SST) is a team centered around problem solving difficulties your child may be having.
All children develop at different rates and ways. If you suspect that your child may have a disability or you are interested in learning more about our RTI process or Student Success Teams (SST) for your child, please contact your school鈥檚 Principal or Vice Principal of Student Support to discuss your concerns.
