Mount Markham Central School District

Challenging and Inspiring Children to be Lifelong Learners

CSE/CPSE

Committee on Special Education (CSE)/Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE)

The Committee on Special Education (CSE) and the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) are multidisciplinary public school committess responsible for evaluating children with disabilities and creating individualized education plans (IEPs). The IEP is a strategic planning document that identifies a student’s unique needs and how the school will strategically address those needs. 

These programs work to ensure a student’s access to high quality research-based instruction and supports to all students who are experiencing learning difficulties. Mount Markham strives to foster an environment in which all students have the opportunities necessary to succeed.
