Special Education

The Lowell Public Schools is committed to providing students with disabilities access to curriculum and general education programs with a continuum of resources and services available. Lowell Public Schools will provide the instruction necessary to help students with disabilities close the gap between their skills and their grade level expectations.

Special education support and services should not be viewed as a separate model, but instead as part of the continuum of supports, services, and interventions created to ensure that the educational environment is responsive to the diverse learning needs of all students. Working together, staff can ensure equal opportunity, full participation, and increased outcomes for all learners, including students with disabilities.
