The Santee School District is committed to the identification and services of students with special needs within the least restrictive environment with access to the general education curriculum. Services and placements are based on each student's Individualized Educational Program (IEP).
We have a full continuum of special education services to meet the individual needs of all students with disabilities in our district.
For answers to specific questions related to special education programs, please contact the coordinator or program specialist assigned to your child's school.
