Special Education
On behalf of our team in the Office of Accountability and Instructional Services, we would like to welcome you to the York County School Division. Our mission in YCSD is to ensure the success of all students through a rigorous and innovative instructional program of public education that expects the highest levels of excellence from staff and students. Our expectation is that all students will become lifelong learners prepared to compete in a global economy. This level of expectation extends to all students regardless of their socio-economic, disability, language or racial status.

The Office of Accountability and Instructional Services in the Department of Instruction facilitates students and staff meeting high expectations through maintaining low student to teacher ratios, incorporating research-based best practices, and following a policy of full-inclusion to the extent practicable for the student. Through adherence to these policies we have built a program that gives students with disabilities every opportunity to succeed and thrive. We welcome your interest in our school district and programs. If you are seeking information regarding individual schools and/or programs, policies or procedures this website offers a wealth of information. If you are seeking information that is not provided here, please feel free to contact me to request that it be added. We are constantly seeking to improve our educational community through positive, timely communication and collaboration.
