How does the Anchorage School District locate children who may need special education services?
Each year our department review and revises our Child Find Plan to ensure that we are locating as many students who may need special education services as possible. This plan establishes and maintains an ongoing system to identify and locate children, birth through 21 years of age, suspected of having a disability who reside within the district, regardless of the severity of the disability. The system must include highly mobile children (migrant or homeless), children who have been suspended or expelled, children suspected of having a disability even though they are advancing from grade to grade as well as children who are enrolled in public schools (including charter and correspondence programs), private and parochial schools, are educated in their homes by a parent or legal guardian, or in educational programs in correctional or youth detention facilities in the district.
