The Superintendent of Schools, Matthew D’Andrea, requested that James A. Shillinglaw conduct an evaluation of the special education programs for Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS). The overall focus of this review is to gain a greater understanding of the status of special education programs and services within MVRHS, identify the strengths of the existing programming, and determine what issues need to be addressed to enhance current programming. The administration wants to procure recommendations that will assist them with addressing future program needs, the inclusion of students with disabilities in general education classes and activities, and the instructional supports that may be required to ensure greater access to the general curriculum for students with special needs.
