About KCSEC

The KCSEC Governing Board provides special education services by joint agreement within a system that demonstrates shared responsibility and equitable distribution of resources among the member districts while respecting geographic, socio-economic and cultural differences of each community. Partnerships with parents, business and industry, community resources, and staff should be developed in order to guarantee special education students will learn the academic, vocational and social skills necessary to achieve their individual potential in order to function as independent, productive adults in their homes and communities.

KCSEC believes that all students can learn. We provide special education students with equal access to regular education programs and facilities. Decisions regarding programs and placement are based on what is best for the student and provided within the local community whenever possible. Special education students are taught in the least restrictive environment by qualified staff utilizing individualized methods and materials which reflect best practices. Diagnostic and support services should be made available to students in a manner which is non discriminatory and recognizes the individual needs and differences of children, their families, their culture, and the community in which they live.

KCSEC believes staff and administrators should grow both personally and professionally and believes that they should encourage and acknowledge creative teaching and program development, research, diagnostics, and delivery of related services
