Students must meet local graduation requirements, including 14 elective units for a total of 28 units of course credits. Students with disabilities will participate in the statewide student accountability standards for elementary, middle, and high school levels. Students with disabilities may be exempted from the state standards by the Individualized Education Program Team, including the principal, if it is determined by the team that the student does not have the ability to participate in the State Standard Course of Study. However, they will be enrolled in a functional curriculum and demonstrate acceptable outcomes on alternate assessments. All interventions and other opportunities, benefits and resources that are made available to students without disabilities shall be made available to students with disabilities who participate in the student accountability standards.
All services offered are in addition to the special education services provided to the student.
