AuburnSchool Department

Every student with a disability has a right to a free, appropriate public education. The Auburn School Department assures that every child of school age eligible for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act will receive an appropriate program of instruction and supportive services designed to meet his or her individual needs. Special education services are provided to Auburn students by certified and/or licensed professionals or supervised support staff at no cost to parents.

Special Services are provided in accordance with the Maine Unified Special Education Regulation, Birth to Age Twenty, Chapter 101. Also available for download is the Procedural Safeguards Notice.

The Auburn School Department seeks to ensure that all children residing in the jurisdiction between the ages of 5 and 20 years who are in need of special education and related services, even if they are advancing from grade to grade, are identified, located and evaluated at public expense. Please see the Auburn School Department′s  Child Find Responsibilities.
