Student Support Services

Envision Schools’ Department of Special Education’s mission is for students with diverse learning needs to have access to supports that provide educational opportunity at a rigorous, college prep high school.

Envision Schools supports all special education students according to state and federal laws. No student is denied admission because (s)he is in need of special education services.

We believe that special education is a service, not a place, and that all students have the right to be fully included in the general education classrooms with their typical peers for the greatest extent possible.

We believe in Individualized Education Program (IEP) team members collaborating to develop an appropriate plan that documents their areas of need related to their disability, culturally relevant supports the student needs, and goals associated with areas of need.

We believe all students can access a rigorous, college prep curriculum through thoughtful planning and collaboration.

Parent Guide to Special Education

Special education is a term used by the law to describe the specialized academic instruction that meets the unique needs of a child who has a disability that impairs his/her ability to succeed in the general education environment. These services are provided by the public school system and are free.

Envision Schools is part of the El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE) Charter Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA). This means we do not belong to San Francisco, Hayward or Oakland Unified School Districts for the purposes of providing special education. New students are processed as Inter-District Transfers and each student transferring to Envision Schools will have an IEP meeting in the first thirty days of the student’s attendance.
