Special Education Notice

New Heights Charter School of Brockton acknowledges its responsibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to avoid discrimination in policies and practices regarding its personnel and students. No discrimination against any person with a disability shall knowingly be permitted in any program or practices in the school district.

SECTION 504

Dear Parent: This document explains the educational rights of students with disabilities to attend Massachusetts charter schools and to receive appropriate special education services in those charter schools. Both federal and state law requires that admission to a charter school be conducted without regard to or consideration of whether the child has a disability, and so charter schools are open to all students, whether or not they are eligible to receive special education services. Charter schools must provide special education services, up to the limits specified under the state charter school law, to all eligible students. This is a summary of your student’s rights to attend and receive needed services from his or her charter school.

Special Education Handbook

 

The Special Education Department at New Heights provides a variety of programming to support the success and academic achievement of all learners. Every special education student is assigned a case manager who coordinates services for each grade level (6th-12th), schedules meetings, and regularly communicates with parents/guardians. While it is the goal for all students to receive as much of their education in the general education setting, New Heights also offers services outside of the classroom.

Special Education Programming 

Parents or guardians may elect to enroll homeless students in the school district where they are sheltered or temporarily residing rather than having them remain in their school of origin. Enrollment changes for homeless students should take place immediately.
