General Information



Teacher and StudentSpecial education services are available at each school within the Beaverton School District to serve students who have been identified as eligible for special education services. Students identified as eligible for special education services must meet the following two requirements:

  1. Federal and state eligibility requirements as having a disability in at least one of 11 handicapping condition categories.
  2. Need specially designed instruction.

Identifying Children with Disabilities

The Beaverton School District (BSD) is seeking assistance in locating children with disabilities (birth through age 21) who have not graduated from high school and currently are not attending nor receiving other special services from public schools.

Oregon and federal law mandate educational services for children with disabilities. BSD provides educational programs and services for eligible children from kindergarten through high school. Services provided are appropriate to each child's disability. The Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD) provides educational services for eligible children birth to kindergarten.

Parents, guardians, or anyone who knows of a child (age five through 21*) with a disability currently not receiving educational services are asked to notify the special education contact person in the child's home school or contact the District's Special Education Department at 503-591-4365.

*For children younger than kindergarten, please telephone NWRESD at 503-614-1446.

**The Beaverton School District is looking for potential volunteers interested in becoming Surrogate Parents to students with disabilities in the district.

If you are interested in volunteering your time to help support the education of a child in need, please contact Mary Edwards at 503-591-4365.
