Welcome to the Division of Prekindergarten, Special Programs, and Related Services. One of the major functions of the Division is to ensure that students with disabilities achieve the goals of the MCPS Program of Studies and the Call to Action plan in the least restrictive environment. To this end, staff works closely with the Office of School Performance and the Department of Facilities Management to expand the range of special education services in each high school cluster and to create more comprehensive, cohesive programs and services for all students.

The Division staff provides technical support, consultation, and training to assist schools in meeting the requirements of federal laws, state regulations, and Board policies related to students with disabilities. Division staff also provides technical assistance to local school IEP team meetings in which disability coding and program decisions are made and maintains active outreach and collaboration efforts with parents, and with federal, state and community agencies and professional organizations.
