Help Available for All Young Handicapped
July 06, 2007
The Crete Public Schools is attempting to inform parents in the district that help is available for all handicapped children. Action taken by the Nebraska Legislature compels local school districts to provide or contract for special education programs for all resident children who would benefit from such programs. Parents who have a child they believe may be handicapped and who is not currently receiving services are asked to contact their child’s respective school – Crete Elementary at 826-5822, Crete Middle School 826-5844 or Crete High School at 826-5811. An evaluation to determine eligibility for appropriate special education services will be arranged. The Child Find Program is an intensive ongoing state-wide search for all unserved handicapped children, ages birth to twenty-one. Participation in any preschool handicapped program (ages 0-5) is totally voluntary on the part of the parent.
