Beyond this, the district provides programs to support students with special needs. Most of these programs are funded primarily through state and federal categorical dollars which require an identification process. We operate fully within the law but prefer to minimize the labeling and segregation of students. To this end, we cross-fund our support staff to allow them to work with any students in need. The district's Learning Support Program (grades K-8) provides the umbrella under which all categorical programs are provided for children at the high end and low end of the spectrum.
