Welcome to the Special Education Services for Caldwell School District. We offer a continuum of services for students from preschool through age 21 that address a variety of student and family needs and concerns. Our program goals, curriculum and materials are developmentally appropriate and focused towards meeting the individual needs of students.
The district, in cooperation with parents and nonpublic school agencies, engages in Child Find services throughout the school year. Child Find activities are conducted (1) to create public awareness of special education programs, (2) to advise the public that students who qualify for services have the right to a free appropriate public education and confidentiality protections, and (3) to alert community residents that a process exists for identifying and serving children with disabilities from the age of 3 through the semester in which they turn 21.
Parents should contact the Caldwell School District if they would like to have their child screened.
If you have specific questions, please contact the special education department in your child's school or call Sylvia Garcia (208) 455-3300.

According to school board policy, the Caldwell School District No. 132 hereby gives notice that special education records are no longer needed to provide educational services to individuals with disabilities who were enrolled in the district as a student more than five (5) years ago. The district will destroy special education records more than five (5) years old each February. Destruction of these records is the best protection against improper and unauthorized disclosure.

Records from the 2018-2019 school year will be destroyed after February 1, 2025. If you wish to review the file or keep the file for your own records, please make the request to the Caldwell School District No. 132, Special Education office by December 20, 2024 or 45 calendar days prior to February 1, 2025.
