Students are eligible to remain in the program until they can succeed in the regular classroom.
Each school provides a range of services for students who are identified as needing special education. Many children with special needs are served in a regular class for all or part of the day. Special education teachers may consult with the regular teacher, work with the child individually or in a special class for part of each day or several times a week, or be the child's main teacher for most of the day. How the child is served depends on his or her needs. Most services can be provided in the regular school, but students who need more concentrated or self-contained services may be assigned to another school where those needs can be met.
