Renton School
District
The
Renton School District Special Education program serves approximately 1,700
students with disabilities from ages three to twenty-one years. Renton has long
recognized that educational needs of some students require specialized
instruction and/or related services in order to achieve success in school. The
district provides a continuum of special program placement and service options
in order to provide appropriate educational opportunities for all students.
Special
education staff includes teachers, school psychologists, speech language
pathologists, behavior specialists, mental health consultants, occupational
therapists and instructional assistants. To be eligible for special education
services a student must be identified as having a substantiated disability
identified by the State Special Education Rules and Regulations (WAC-392-172).
This determination involves an evaluation process by a school-based team that
also includes the student’s parents
