The Fox C-6 School District educates all children and
strives to make “Success For Every Student” and education outcome. The
site-based management approach supports such a philosophy by providing
building-level teams and the involvement of all school
personnel—principals, counselors, regular and special education
teachers, secretaries, cooks, para-professionals, custodians and bus
drivers.
Professional development activities are offered to all staff
regarding current issues and trends in special education,
developmentally appropriate practice, alternative intervention
strategies, basic compliance in terms of process and procedures and
inclusion. Administrative guidelines have been developed for inclusion,
as follows:
Fox C-6 School District supports the inclusion of children with
developmental disabilities in their schools and communities. Each
student’s educational program needs are determined on an individual,
rather than a categorical basis. It is our belief that we can create
success as an educational outcome within an integrated, community-based
service delivery system. The continuum of services will continue to be
available through self-contained, resource, itinerant, consultation,
class within a class, homebound instruction and direct
trans-disciplinary therapies (speech/language, occupational therapy,
physical therapy).
A collaborative approach is utilized to create continual
opportunities for parents, professionals and students to work, live and
learn together. Training and support services for all persons involved
will be provided, on an individual and collective basis. Through such
interdependence, success can be defined for each student individually,
and positively, according to their needs and choices.
