ESE Philosophy
The Exceptional Student Education Department of Lakeland Senior High School believes that each student is a unique individual. We believe each student should be continually encouraged and should be provided opportunities to build self-esteem and to develop to their fullest potential.
We believe that children have a right to an education in the least restrictive environment possible. For some students this environment is a full-time special class, and for other students it is a regular class with support from a resource-room program. In either case, we are committed to helping each student accomplish the goals set forth in their Individualized Educational Plan.
