Bellevue School District 

Through comprehensive child find efforts, the Bellevue School District seeks out all resident children ages 3 – 21 (and non-residents attending private school within the Bellevue school district) with potentially disabling conditions. 

Preschool students are served in a variety of ways utilizing many service delivery options, depending upon evaluation results, and IEP (Individual Education Program) committee recommendations. The district also serves children from birth to two years through a contract with Kindering Center.

 

The district delivers services to children 5 – 21 through general education classrooms and/or resource rooms, and to a much lesser extent, in integrated or self-contained classrooms. Selection of the appropriate option for each student is based upon the student's IEP, the least restrictive environment requirements, and the methods that provide a reasonably high probability of assisting the student to achieve annual goals. In addition, consideration is given to whether the student can be placed in his neighborhood school, and if not, if the school is as close as possible to the student's home. Not all options are available at every school site.
