Philosophy:
Fenton Community High School District 100 maintains a comprehensive program of special education services which provide a free and appropriate education to children, ages 14 to 21, who have exceptional needs and are residents of District 100. The district provides a continuum of services for children with mild to severe handicaps. To the extent possible, students are educated in the mainstream of the school community. The placement of a special education student is determined at the student’s educational determination conference when the special needs of the particular student are identified. Fenton High School offers a variety of special education programs to meet the needs of students. Resource and selfcontained programs are available for individual students who have academic and/or behavioral concerns that cannot be met in the general education classroom. Students can receive a variety of services within the program they need. The goals of the special education programs are as follows:
- Inclusion and/or integration in as many regular education classes as can be successfully completed.
- Continue to develop appropriate social skills.
- Foster better communication between students, regular education teachers, parents, and special education teachers.
- Provide resource assistance for general education.
- Increase academic skills.
- Provide instruction in specific subject areas.
