Special Education Parent Advisory
The Johnston Special Education Advisory Committee is a group of parents/guardians, professionals, and concerned citizens who have come together to advocate for all children in the Town of Johnston who have special education needs. One of the committee' s most important functions is that of providing advice and support to parents whose children are either in a special education program or are being evaluated for special services.
Special Education Services
Federal and state regulations that require the district to provide a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment for students with disabilities govern the Johnston Public School System.
The Special Education Department has in place a referral and evaluation process that addresses each child who might be in need of Special Education Services.
When a determination is made that a child qualifies for Special Education Services, we have a range of services and programs to meet the unique needs of each child.
