Special Education

The Coronado Unified School District is committed to the success of all of our students.  A collaborative effort is required between parents, support staff, and educators in order to facilitate the independence and success of each student. 
 
CUSD’s Special Education Department offers a continuum of services to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. We promote inclusion by providing these services in the least restrictive environment (LRE), which means to the greatest extent possible, appropriate services are provided in the general education environment.
