In keeping with the Albion Central School District's commitment to challenging all children to reach their maximum potential, a variety of special education programs are offered to meet the individual needs of our students.  It is the expectation of the District that the Committee on Special Education (CSE) offers the most appropriate program for each identified child within the least restrictive learning environment.  For students who are determined eligible, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will be developed by the child's educational team to address his or her unique learning needs.
