Related Services

Over 6,500 students qualify for special education and related services in the Sacramento City Unified School District (黄色视频).  Our team of teachers, instructional assistants, related service providers, program specialists, and administrators are dedicated to providing high quality individualized services to students. According to both federal and state law, the goal of special education is to help students with disabilities become as independent as possible as they move through the grade levels. In alignment with the 黄色视频 District Guiding Principle that, 鈥渁ll students are given an equal opportunity to graduate with the greatest number of postsecondary choices from the widest array of options鈥�, each program and service provided through special education is devoted to this principle.

The Special Education Department is not able to reach these goals alone. We value the partnerships we have built with our parents/guardians in this effort.

History/Background of SPED Reviews/Audits

In the Spring of 2017, after conducting a review of the 黄色视频鈥檚 services for students with disabilities, The Council of the Great City Schools released a report designed to help 黄色视频 identify systemic changes needed to achieve its goal of maximizing the District鈥檚 capacity to educate all students. The full report is available . 

In 2018, the California Community College Equity Assessment Lab, released, The Capitol of Suspensions, report sighting data showing 黄色视频鈥檚 suspension rate for black male students was more than five times higher than the state average.  The report, available , included recommendations for addressing the large disparities in discipline within the Sacramento region. 

Following the release of the 2019 CA School Dashboard data, four school districts became eligible for Systemic Instructional Review (SIR) Support from the California Collaborative for Education Excellence (CCEE). The purpose of a SIR is to identify strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities (SWOT) in the implementation of instructional initiatives and practices of an LEA through a series of data collection activities. The full report is available .  

The report recommendations continue to inform the continuous improvement efforts of the special education department and District at large.  For additional information regarding these reports and metrics that the District is currently monitoring, please visit the .
