Nature and Scope of Programs
Multi-disciplinary teams may recommend a student to a Committee on Special Education for any placement option listed below. However, these placements may or may not provide services in isolation. Based on the individual student’s academic, physical, social-emotional and management needs, services may coalesce to provide the appropriate placement in accordance with a least restrictive environment policy. The Orchard Park Central School District ensures that adequate and appropriate staff and space are continually allocated within the District for special education programs that meet the needs of resident student with disabilities and houses BOCES programs.
Continuum of Services
Groupings are based upon similarity of student needs and no more than a three year age-span guideline. Staff-to-student ratios are in accordance with current State regulations.
