The Pennsylvania Department of Education offers a Parent Guide to Special Education. To receive a copy of this guide, please either stop by a principals office or the Services Center. You may also call 610-534-1900 ext 1112 to receive a copy in the mail.
Dispute Resolution
We encourage parents/guardians to come in and assist the staff and administration in planning a student's education program. Parent input is vital in the special education process.
If parents or guardians do not approve of the recommendations or want changes make to a current educational plan, they are encouraged to meet with the team at the building level. Often the Director of Special Education attends these meetings to assist in resolving any problems.
Parents or guardians have a right to due process through mediation. A copy of the procedural safeguards can be found in any school building. If parents have a concern and they want to contact an administrator, they can call or write to the Director of Special Education at the Ridley Services Center.
