Specially designed
instruction for students with disabilities is made available to
students ages 3-21. All children and youth with disabilities are
provided a free and appropriate public education in the least
restrictive environment. This instruction is at no cost to parents.
Specially designed instruction in the Knox County School System
promotes a partnership between parents and educators to provide an
appropriate, individualized program for all children with a
disability.
The Knox County School System has an ongoing CHILD FIND campaign.
The purpose of the campaign is to find any child or youth who
resides in a home, facility, or residence in the Knox County School
District and may have a disability and need special education. The
District is looking for those children and youth, ages 3-21, who are
not in school or those who are in school but not receiving the
special education they need to have an appropriate public education.
The District will make sure any child or youth who has a disability,
regardless of how severe the disability, is provided an appropriate
public education at no cost to the parents of the child or youth.
If you know of a child or youth who lives in the District who may
have a disability and is not receiving needed services, bring,
telephone, or send information to: Special Education Director, 200
Daniel Boone Drive, Barbourville, KY 40906.
