Academic Support for ParentsDDESS Parent InformationSpecial EducationThe Fort Knox School system provides a free and appropriate education to each special needs student within its jurisdiction regardless of the nature or severity of the disability. It is the intent of this school district to ensure that all special needs students are identified, evaluated, and provided with appropriate service, beginning at age 3. Students who may need additional remedial academic assistance are referred to the Student Support Team (SST) to determine how best to meet their needs. Special instruction may be provided to selected students who are referred. Parents are included in all decision-making processes regarding their child. Special Education Initiative -In an effort to enhance existing services and programs, DoDEA conducted a system-wide review of its special education services in 2002. The review focused on four major components of quality services: resources, curricula, related services, and facilities. The review provided valuable feedback and identified a need for additional resources in order to provide services for students with moderate to severe disabilities. Through a joint agreement among all of the armed services, additional funding was allocated to support the special education initiative beginning in school year 2003-2004 and continuing through school year 2008-2009. The DoDEA Special Education Initiative is a comprehensive plan designed to bring special education services to new levels of excellence by providing additional resources and materials, and professional development.
