Special Education Courses and Diploma Options

Special Education Services are based on the student’s IEP and learning needs.  FCS offers a variety of services within the core academic courses including consultative services, collaborative and co-taught support, as well as small group. Students receiving supports in co-taught, collaborative and/or resource classes are required to meet all high school standards (including the end of course assessments) within the particular course, unless the student is identified by the IEP team to be served through modified curriculum.  Course standards are not modified unless a student’s IEP indicates such modifications are needed (standards that are modified have been altered or changed to where they no longer meet the identified general education standards for course credit).  Modifications to a student's curriculum may be necessary and it’s important that the student and parents understand that it may result in a change in diploma options.
