Greenwich Schools Urged to Enhance Special Education Programs
March 15, 2025 - 18:21
Public Consulting Group has been collaborating with Greenwich Public Schools since the 2020-21 academic year to assess and improve the district's special education services. A recent report highlights significant areas for enhancement, emphasizing a "lack of uniformity" across various school buildings.
The findings suggest that while some schools are effectively meeting the needs of their special education students, others are falling short, leading to inconsistent experiences for families and students. This disparity in service delivery raises concerns about equity and access to quality education for all students with disabilities.
The report outlines several recommendations aimed at creating a more cohesive and effective special education framework. These include standardized training for staff, improved communication with families, and the development of tailored programs that cater to the diverse needs of students.
As the district moves forward, stakeholders are encouraged to prioritize these improvements to ensure that every student receives the support they need to thrive academically and socially.
