Engage, Educate and Empower Today's Students to Seize Tomorrow's Opportunities!

The Special Education Department of Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation is dedicated to ensuring that all students with disabilities receive a high-quality education in the least restrictive environment. Our mission is to foster an inclusive, supportive, and empowering learning community where every student is equipped to reach their full potential.

Students are determined eligible for special education services by the case conference committee following a multi-disciplinary educational evaluation. Parents/guardians and school personnel are all integral members of the case conference committee. Mt. Vernon provides a continuum of services to meet the individual educational needs of our students in the least restrictive environment. If you suspect your child may have a disability, please see the Parent Hub link for information on the next steps.
