Special Education
Special Education services are provided to students who are found to be eligible. A multidisciplinary team will determine the educational program based on the individual needs of the child. Individual plans are designed to meet individual needs. Students receive service within their homeroom (inclusion) and/or within the special education classroom.
Dallas Elementary School District 327 is a member of the West Central Illinois Special Education Cooperative (WCISEC).
It is the intent of the district to ensure that students who are disabled within the definition of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act are identified, evaluated and provided with appropriate educational services.
The School provides a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment and necessary related services to all children with disabilities enrolled in the school. The term “children with disabilities” means children between ages 3 and the day before their 22nd birthday for who it is determined that special education services are needed. It is the intent of the school to ensure that students with disabilities are identified, evaluated, and provided with appropriate educational services.
A copy of the publication “Explanation of Procedural Safeguards Available to Parents of Students with Disabilities” may be obtained from the school district office.
Referral to the district for preliminary evaluation may be made by school personnel, parent(s)/guardians(s), persons having primary care and custody, community service agencies, other professionals having knowledge of the student’s need, the student, or the Illinois Board of Education, when there is reason to believe that a child may require special education services.
Students with disabilities who do not qualify for an individualized education program, as required by the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and implementing provision of this Illinois Law, may qualify for services under Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 if the student (i) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, (ii) has a record of a physical or mental impairment, or (iii) is regarded as having a physical or mental impairment.
