Scott County School District 2 provides a full continuum of special education services for our students. Our special education programs are designed to meet the needs of every individual and includes specifically designed instruction and related services to support a student’s educational program. The services range from students placed within the general education classroom to self-contained specialized programs for students whose educational needs require more intensive services and support in order to meet the needs of each individual student.
