Our Inclusive Education work is guided by 8 principles:

• The public school system is the foundation for inclusive education.
• All students have the right to receive a public education in the regular classroom.
• Inclusive education at all levels benefits students with special needs and their peers.
• Each student is unique and needs an individualized approach to education to meet his or her intellectual, physical, social, and emotional and career development goals.
• Parents are valuable contributing partners in the education system and their involvement enhances the effectiveness and accountability of the school system.
• Parents have a responsibility to be involved in their child’s education and schools have the responsibility to encourage parental involvement.
• Students’ participation in all aspects of school life is vital to a rich education experience.
• Transitions are more successful for students when formalized student-centered planning occurs.
