Our goal in WRPS is to ensure all students with disabilities receive their federally guaranteed free, appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment, thus promoting inclusive schooling. WRPS offers a range of services to students with disabilities requiring special education. Students are determined to be eligible by meeting state criteria in one or more state defined disability areas. Once determined eligible, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) is developed and students may begin receiving services upon parent permission. Students identified as having special education needs are eligible to receive services from age 3 to 21. WRPS is committed to provide an equal educational opportunity to all children with disabilities within the district.
