What We Do

Mainstream/In-Class Support Services

Special education services are frequently provided through in-class support services in the general education classroom. This allows Ore City ISD to provide specially designed instruction to students with disabilities that (a) addresses the unique needs of the student that result from his/her disability and (b) ensure the student's access to the general curriculum.

Monitoring student progress in and of itself does not constitute a special education service. A student with a disability served solely in the general education classroom (mainstream) must have:

• An IEP specifying the special education and related services that enable the student to access the general curriculum and to make progress toward his/her individual goals and objectives; and
• Qualified special education personnel involved in the implementation of the student's IEP through the provision of direct, indirect and/or support services (a) to the student in the general education classroom and/or (b) in collaboration with the student's general education teacher.
