Culturally and Linguistically Diverse/ Special Education Team

We are an English Language Learner (ELL)/Special Education (SPED) team serving the needs of our member districts. We provide resources, consultation, and educational strategies to assist educators who work with ELL students (at any point in the response to intervention process) to ensure students’ educational needs are met.
