On an annual basis, the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team determines the appropriate level of support for each student in special education.  The IEP team typically includes but is not limited to:  Student, Parent(s)/Guardian, IEP Facilitator, Special Education Teacher/Case Manager, General Education Teacher, and Guidance Counselor.  The IEP team reviews the student’s present levels of academic achievement and functional performance within the school setting.  The IEP team develops a plan that identifies the appropriate level of special education support required for the student to be successful with consideration to the least restrictive educational environment.  With Lake Park’s continuum of services, the department strives to continuously improve student growth and achievement by ensuring that, to the maximum extent appropriate, students with disabilities are educated with their non-disabled peers.
