Welcome to SPED
The Special Education Department provides resources to campuses to support meaningful learning opportunities for eligible students with disabilities in accordance with state, federal, and local policies. Special education is an integral part of the total instructional program of the district. Arrow Academy provides a full continuum of services to meet the needs of eligible students that allows access to general instruction with non-disabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate for each student. To learn more about the referral process or discuss concerns, we encourage you to contact your child’s home campus or the Special Education Department at 346-754-5867.
