District Accommodation Plan

This document assists school leaders and teachers analyze and accommodate diverse learning styles.  Educators can choose from a menu of appropriate services and supports to address the needs of children who do not qualify for special education services. This document is also helpful to families who are investigating next steps for children who may need alternative strategies to help them succeed.
