| Mission Statement: As the Special Education Department of Antioch Community High School, our mission is to meet the social, emotional and educational needs of students. We value diversity and respect equal opportunity while providing a quality education in least restrictive environment. We will encourage growth through implementing a rigorous curriculum and high standards. We provide differentiated education to all students as they transition to meet post secondary goals while becoming self-advocates and life-long learners. |
Antioch
Community High School offers a full range of special education services
required by law. Inquiries about services may be made to the student's
counselor who will conduct a preliminary evaluation which includes a review
of records with staff and other relevant resources. The counselor and
the parent(s)/guardians(s) maintain close contact with each other on the
progress of the review. If the parent(s)/guardians(s) and the counselor
agree that special education services may be warranted, a referral for
special education evaluation will be prepared by the counselor and submitted
to the Director of Special Education who will determine the educational
assistance appropriate to the student's needs and acceptable to the parent(s)/guardians(s).
Special
Education students are subject to and accountable for the same rules and
regulations unless the behavior is related to or results from a disability
listed in Article 14 of the School Code. Special Education students may
be excluded or suspended from school if their behavior can reasonably
be considered a danger to themselves, staff, or other students.
