Laurie L Gordon: Director of State & Federal 

WELCOME! The Office of State & Federal Programs is responsible for providing district-wide direction and support services for students who are at risk of dropping out of school.  Also included in the umbrella of special programs services are programs that serve students who are economically disadvantaged, homeless, or pregnant.
Although each of these programs has a unique mission, function, goal, and objectives; all, have the distinction of looking at each student as an individual within the context of the educational setting and providing support services to ensure graduation.

These programs are governed by State Compensatory Education, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and No Child Left Behind, NCLB,  (also known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, ESEA).
