In May 2010, the district entered a settlement with some parents for the services the district provided to their child.
Districts engage in identification procedures to ensure that eligible students receive an appropriate education program consisting of special education and related services, individually to meet student needs. With no cost to parents, this service is provided in accordance with state and federal law; and calculated fairly to generate significant educational and student progress. To identify students who may be eligible for special education, various screening activities are conducted on an ongoing basis. These screening activities include: review of group-based data (cumulative notes, registration notes, health records, report cards, ability test scores and achievements); hearing, sight, motor, and speech/language abilities; and reviewed by the Instructional Support Team or the Student Assistance Team. When screening results indicate that the student may be eligible, the District seeks parental consent to conduct a multidisciplinary evaluation. Parents who suspect their child is eligible may verbally request a multidisciplinary evaluation of District professional employees or contact the Special Education Controller.
In 2010, the state of Pennsylvania provided $ 1,026,815,000 for special education services. The funds are distributed to districts based on state policies that estimate that 16% of district students receive special education services.

In order to qualify for a mentally gifted program in Pennsylvania, a student must have at least 130 cognitive abilities measured on a standard-ability test by a certified school psychologist. Other factors that indicate the gift will also be considered for eligibility.
