    Special Education Program Review

    Roaring Fork Schools recently completed a detailed review of our special education programs, policies, and practices. The goal was to better understand what’s working well and where we can improve, from classroom environments and access to the general curriculum, to inclusive practices and support services. The study gathered feedback through focus groups, interviews, and classroom visits, and will help guide priorities for high-quality, inclusive programs that lead to positive outcomes for students with disabilities.

    You can read more about the report here.

    We also invite families to join us at the Family Advisory Council meeting on Sept. 16. For more information contact Sonia Roldan at sroldan@rfshcools.com
