Los Lunas Schools offers a full range of school placement options to
serve all district students with disabilities ages three to 21. The
district's philosophy is to provide an inpidualized program for each
student in the least restrictive environment. Programs cover the full
continuum of option including support in the regular classroom, resource
rooms and self-contained classes for students who need more support.
Access to all special education programs is through a formal team
assessment process initiated at the student's home school. Once the
student is determined eligible as a special education student, the
assessment team develops inpidual goals and makes a placement
recommendation. The student's disabling condition does not dictate
program placement. Each student's placement is based on the student's
individual needs.
