Plymouth Public Schools has an obligation to identify any child who is a resident of Plymouth who may have a disability which impacts their education.
As part of our on-going child find procedures, you, any member of your staff or the child’s parents may refer the student for an evaluation. It is the responsibility of the Plymouth Public Schools to identify and evaluate these students to determine eligibility for special education or related services under IDEA (Individual with Disabilities Education Act) or 603 CMR 28 (Massachusetts Special Education Regulations).
Additionally, if you are aware of any unaccompanied youth or homeless families with school-aged children who reside in Plymouth, please contact Dr. Sean Halpin, Plymouth Public Schools’ Homeless Coordinator at 508-224-5086 for assistance.
Should you or parents from our community have any questions about special education, please contact the district’s Special Education office at 508-830-4343.
