Special Education
What We Do
The Department of Special Education for the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools serves students with disabilities, ages 2-21, who are found eligible for special education and related services by a multidisciplinary team. Services for identified students are provided in the least restrictive environment in a manner consistent with all applicable federal and state regulations.
Students receive a variety of services determined by their specific needs. Services include consultation, support, and direct instruction in a variety of learning environments. Parental involvement is an essential component during the evaluation process and development of each student’s Individualized Educational Program (IEP). Upon successful completion of a prescribed program, students will earn a diploma (advanced, standard, applied studies) or a certificate of completion.
We provide hands-on support to help all students grow
WJCC is committed to working collaboratively with families in developing an Individualized Educational Program (IEP) that provides children with a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).
WJCC provides a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to each qualified student with a disability. Section 504 is a federal law designed to protect the rights of these individuals.
