The special schools include Evans Special School, Regional School for the Deaf and Blind and the Continuous Learning Center, an alternative school. The school system's goal is to establish a systematic process to transition youth with disabilities from school to work and adult life.
Students have several options concerning instruction and programs.
They may choose to pursue an advanced education diploma, a general education diploma, an occupational diploma, or a certificate of education. The content and standards required to earn an advanced, a general, or an occupational diploma are determined by the Alabama State Department of Education. Teachers are trained to use a variety of textbooks and materials to teach the curriculum and IEP objectives. Additional materials are available through the school system's Special Education Instructional Support Center and the Curriculum and Instruction Media Center. CBI and WIP enable teachers to teach skills needed to function in the community in a natural environment.
