Rockford Public Schools offers a continuum of programs and services
for students who qualify for special education. Rockford has a full
diagnostic staff that conducts student evaluations and provides
support services to students, teachers, and parents.
Typically, requests for individual student evaluations are generated through
the building level Student Assistance Team (SAT) process when
there is a question in regards to whether a student may have a
disability that impedes or impacts the learning process. Parents
may request a multi-disciplinary evaluation be completed if there
is suspicion that their child may have a disability. For school
or parent initiated referrals, signed parental permission is
necessary, and an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is conducted
within 30 days of initial consent. Rockford Public Schools adheres
to state and federal policies and laws.
