NCS Special Education Instruction and Services for Students

The Natomas Charter School (NCS) operates as a public school of the Natomas Unified School District (NUSD) for all special education purposes.  Eligible students enrolled in NCS shall receive special education services in accordance with their individualized education plans (IEP) and in the same manner as any other student enrolled in NUSD.  NUSD, as the local education agency (LEA) for special education purposes, offers a full continuum of special education instruction and related services to ensure that all students receive a free appropriate public education.  As with other school sites in the district, not every service on the continuum of options is offered at the NCS site.  Therefore, a NCS student who requires special education services may receive such services at another NUSD school site other than the charter school.  These services will be in accordance with the student’s IEP and NUSD and Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) policy.  Special education placements and related services available on site at NCS may include general education inclusion, individual and small group instruction, speech and language therapy, and other designated instructional services.  Other special education placements and services are available off-site, either in the district or in the other school districts within the NUSD SELPA.
