Lenox Public School Child Find Procedures
Translated versions available here
It is the responsibility of the Local Education Agency(LEA), Lenox Public Schools, to identify any child ages 3 through 22 who may have a disability who is either a resident of the LEA or who attends a private school within the geographic boundaries of the LEA. This also includes children who reside in the LEA who are homeschooled, as well as children ages 3 through 22 who are not yet enrolled in school.
The District is also responsible for the evaluation of those students to determine if they are eligible for special education or related services under federal and state law.
Lenox Public Schools is also committed to identifying children before their third birthday in order to provide early intervention services for three and four-year-olds with disabilities. If you have questions or concerns regarding your child's development and would like to have your child screened, please call Brian Kelley at 413-637-5571 to set up an appointment. Parents/Guardians planning to send their child to the Lenox Pre-K will be notified through a specific mailing regarding Pre-K screening, Open House, and application process.
If you suspect that your child may need an evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services from the LEA, you may request an evaluation, at no cost, through the Lenox Special Education Office.
