Specially designed instruction for students with disabilities is made
available to students ages 3-21. All children and youth with disabilities
are provided a free and appropriate public education in the least
restrictive environment. This instruction is at no cost to parents.
Specially designed instruction in the Knox County School System promotes a
partnership between parents and educators to provide an appropriate,
individualized program for all children with a disability.
The Knox County School System has an ongoing CHILD FIND campaign. The
purpose of the campaign is to find any child or youth who resides in a
home, facility, or residence in the Knox County School District and may
have a disability and need special education. The District is looking for
those children and youth, ages 3-21, who are not in school or those who
are in school but not receiving the special education they need to have an
appropriate public education.
The District will make sure any child or youth who has a disability,
regardless of how severe the disability, is provided an appropriate public
education at no cost to the parents of the child or youth.
If you know of a child or youth who lives in the District who may have a
disability and is not receiving needed services, bring, telephone, or send
information to: Special Education Director, 200 Daniel Boone Drive,
Barbourville, KY 40906. The district office is open between 8:00 a.m. and
4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The telephone number is (606) 546-3157.
