The purpose of the team is to respond to appropriate referrals from teachers, parents, and related school personnel who believe that a child may require an evaluation to determine if special services are warranted. Once an evaluated has been conducted, members of the Child Study Team meet with parents and teachers to determine whether or not the child is eligible for special services.
