Exceptional Student Services at Sanders USD

Sanders Unified School District Special Education Department provides educational opportunities for all disabled students, ages 5–18. We aim to provide superior special education supports and services that meet the academic, physical, social, and emotional needs of all our students in special education.

Every student is educated to the maximum extent appropriate with their nondisabled peers. Special classes, separate schooling, or other removals of students with disabilities from the general education environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability warrants such services outside of the general education classroom. These decisions are made on an individualized basis, with input from the entire team, including the parent.
