Summary: California has a system for organization of special education programs and funding through a system of SELPAs throughout the state. Each SELPA is charged with oversight of both programs and allocation of funds serving students with disabilities. As a single district SELPA serving approximately 4200 students, we are charged with providing a full continuum of specialized services to meet the needs of the students in the least restrictive environment. Through a robust professional development program for our staff and collaborative outreach to our parent community, the SELPA facilitates the creation of strong teams that develop Individualized Education Programs specifically calculated to provide educational benefit to each child in light of each’s child’s unique circumstances. This resolution supports the role SELPAs play in access to education for students with disabilities through accountability of special education in the district.
