Special Education
The BHS special education program
assists children with a variety of social, emotional, and learning impairments.
Children are assimilated into traditional classrooms as much as possible.
Students learn and process information that will be necessary for a productive
and independent adult life.
A number of supplemental programs at each building assist children in
challenging areas, provide academic skills training, and help with learning
difficulties. These include Academic Resource Programs, Learning Resource
Centers, General Education Resource Teachers, and Program of Assistance for
General Education Students. In addition, SCAMP, a six-week recreational summer
camp, is available for special education students each year.
A Quality Assurance Review, completed by Oakland Schools, affirms our
excellence in staffing, programming, and services for our special needs
students.
"Early intervention was crucial in my child’s ability to read. She
takes pride in her newfound abilities and has become an accomplished, confident
reader."
