Special Education

What is Support Services?

The Department of Student Support Services includes:

  • Parent As Teachers Program
  • Early Childhood Programs
  • District Special Education Programs
  • Mental Health Interventions and Supports

Student support services are here to provide support to families and students in the Haysville community. Students will be provided with sound academic opportunities to facilitate their developmental, emotional, social, and vocational potential. It is our task to provide demanding programs appropriate for all levels of ability. The goal of Student Support Services is to implement this philosophy into practice for students with disabilities and to ensure that children with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment.

Educational Services for All children

Student Support Services facilitates the delivery of special education services in Haysville Public Schools. In the provision of special education and related services, the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) and the Student Support Services Department adhere to all state and federal regulations governing special education. These mandates include but are not limited to: 1. The identification and referral of children in need of special education and related services; 2. The provision of a free, appropriate public education; 3. Administration of nondiscriminatory, multidisciplinary evaluations; 4. The advisement of a parent’s right to due process; 5. Provide notice to parents before any special education action is taken and advise parents of their right to protest such placement through due process proceedings; 6. The development of an individualized education program for all children prior to placement in special education; 7. Informing and ensuring parents of access to records and the safeguarding of each student’s confidentiality; 8. Informing parents of the destruction of personally identifiable information when it is no longer needed and the parents’ right to request or deny such destruction; 9. Comprehensive re-evaluation of special education students at least every three years.

 

Haysville Public Schools provides public notice to all patrons of the availability of special education services and related services for all students (ages birth through 21 years of age) residing within the school district. This includes children who attend public or private schools, home school, migrant, homeless or are wards of the State.
