Framingham Public Schools provides a broad array of services for children and youth identified with disabilities from the ages of three through twenty-two. State and federal special education laws and regulations, namely The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), govern the referral, evaluation and placement procedures. The Framingham Public School District is committed to the goal of providing an appropriate education for students with needs in the least restrictive environment. The manual below has been created for all members of the Framingham community and for those who serve the Framingham Public Schools. Contents address special education services and criteria for our students with disabilities and is designed for community members, parents, students, administrators, general education teachers, special education teachers, other service providers and paraprofessionals.

Since the beginning of the school year, we have had an influx of move in students so be sure to add your name to their IEPs as the primary contact in ESPED if you haven't done so already.
It is your responsibility to share student accommodations with any staff who work with the student throughout the school day. It is up to you, how you choose to share the details. Some choose to print the accommodations and give them to staff and others print the snapshot reports from ESPED.
