Special Education

On behalf of our team in the Office of Special Education, we would like to welcome you to the York County School Division. Our mission in YCSD is to ensure every student is valued, supported, and challenged through learning experiences, which prepare them for a successful future. Our expectation is that all students will become lifelong learners prepared to compete in a global economy. This level of expectation extends to all students regardless of their socio-economic, disability, language or racial status.

The Office of Special Education in the instruction department facilitates students and staff meeting high expectations through maintaining low student to teacher ratios, incorporating research-based best practices, and following a policy of full-inclusion to the extent practicable for the student. Through adherence to these policies we have built a program that gives students with disabilities every opportunity to succeed and thrive. We welcome your interest in our school district and programs. If you are seeking information regarding individual schools and/or programs, policies or procedures this website offers a wealth of information. If you are seeking information that is not provided here, please feel free to contact me to request that it be added. We are constantly seeking to improve our educational community through positive, timely communication and collaboration.

For more information, please contact the Office of Special Education, Ashley Easter at 757-898-0308 or your school’s coordinator of special education.
