Child Find Notice

Under IDEA and Massachusetts Chapter 71B, all public schools must provide special education for children determined to be educationally disabled. The law requires school districts to identify children ages 3 to 21. This law applies to all children, including those in non-public schools, pre-schools, and hospital settings. In addition, children of migrant or homeless families are entitled to public education.
 
Parents or service providers who suspect a child might have an educationally disabling condition are encouraged to contact their child’s school. The EPS will arrange screening and evaluation for any students who are unable to progress effectively in general education because of a disability.
 
For more detailed information about the policies, procedures, and services available at the Everett Public Schools for special education, please contact Director of Special Education Shamus Brady in the Special Education Office at 617-394-2400 x. 610061 or email [email protected].
