Special Education
Welcome to Special Education, this website exists as a resource for NUSD families, staff and community members. Our mission is to provide each student with an appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. We believe in high quality, evidence-based instruction and services for all students and we believe that all students can learn and succeed. Below you will find our areas of service.
NUSD families and community members may have seen information regarding a Sacramento Grand Jury report. The District is making available additional information and context about the report and NUSD special education programs.
