Battle Ground Public Schools provide special education and related services in all schools to eligible children and youths with disabilities, from birth through 21. In some cases, we provide services through other school districts or by approved outside agencies through inter-local service agreements.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against qualifying individuals with a disability in any program receiving federal assistance.
We believe in educating students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. Each student has access to an appropriate learning environment and an opportunity for education with non-disabled students to the maximum extent appropriate at his or her neighborhood school or at a site as close as possible.
Battle Ground inclusive community links / extracurricular activities available in the community for children with disabilities.
Battle Ground Public Schools is committed to addressing the unique needs of students with disabilities, birth through age 21. This includes children with disabilities enrolled in private schools within the district boundaries as well as children who are homeless. Disabilities can be in any one of several categories that ultimately affect a child’s learning, such as the ability to think, to express oneself, to see or hear clearly, to get around, or understand instructions given. If you have a child who you think might have a disability requiring special education instruction or significant accommodations at school, or if you know of such a child, please call us at 360-885-5318.
