Concordia Parish School Board Identification of Students in Need of Special Populations Services

All students in public school systems in the United States are obligated to provide fair and equitable educational instruction and opportunities. Students with special needs may need additional support to achieve their academic potential and long term goals. If you believe your child may have a qualifying learning disability please speak with the school principal, counselor, or district office for more information about disability screenings. Information regarding the Gifted & Talented program can be found on their program page.
