Vision Statement

The Department of Exceptional Children for Guilford County Schools believes in the basic operational principle of providing a quality education to ALL children.

In collaboration with students, parents, regular educators, and our community partners, students with disabilities will be provided specially designed, research-based instruction.  By providing excellence in programming by highly qualified staff in the least restrictive environment, we will promote cognitive, physical, social, vocational, and emotional development.    

The ultimate goal is for students to gain knowledge and access resources in order to successfully transition to higher education or a career and become productive and contributing citizens in society.

Guilford County Schools takes great pride in the quality and variety of programs provided for children with special needs. Supported by local, state, and federal funding, these programs are staffed by over 1,600 professionals who work hand-in-hand with parents to ensure quality educational opportunities for all children.

By the beginning of the 2008-09 school year, Guilford County Schools was serving approximately 11,000 students with disabilities, ages 3-21. Our school system provides a full continuum of services to meet the individual needs of students in the least restrictive environment. Detailed procedures for providing services to students with special needs are procedures by the NC State Department of Public Instruction, Exceptional Children Division, in Policies Governing Services For Children With Special Disabilities.
