The Morgan County R-II School District is committed to meeting the needs of individual students in the least restrictive environment while adjusting services and teaching strategies as students’ needs change. Working collaboratively with parents and guardians is a central aspect of students’ success. 

Special education involves specially designed instruction suited to the unique needs of each child and is provided at no cost to parents. The federal law Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) ensures services to children with disabilities throughout the nation. Special education supports and services are provided to ensure the needs of all students with disabilities are met. These supports and services are documented in an Individual Education Program or Plan (IEP) or 504 Educational Plan.

Please contact your child’s teacher, your individual school’s principal, or the Special Education Office if you believe your child may have a disability or if you have concerns related to your child’s IEP or 504 plan.
