The
Nashua School District Special Education Department strives to ensure that
students with educational disabilities are provided with a free and appropriate
public education (FAPE). This includes access to the general education
curriculum whenever appropriate, as mandated by Federal statutes and State
standards.
The
special education process is designed to enable parents of students with
educational disabilities and the School District to work together to ensure that
each child is provided an appropriate education. The Nashua School district
believes that parents are an important part of this process and are encouraged
to take an active role.
The
Nashua School district has a strong and longstanding belief in appropriate
inclusion.
As a result, the district has been regarded as a national demonstration
site for appropriate inclusion since 1989.
The district recognized the benefit of inclusive school environment long
before the federal regulations were issued in 1999, strengthening the mandate
that students with disabilities receive educational programming in the general
education classroom whenever possible.
