Student Services for All Learners
Special Education Services
The Global Learning Charter Public School special education program assists meeting the unique needs of identified students at GLCPS. Educational services, evaluation, curriculum modifications and accommodations are offered to children through individualized learning programs. Families and guardians plan with teachers, related services professionals and specialists to coordinate educational plans for particular students. We are dedicated to educating all students and believe that students with disabilities should be educated in full inclusion to the greatest extent possible within the least restrictive environment. Special education services are a continuum of services, accommodations, and/or modifications designed to meet the needs of students through the Team process.

504 Plans
A 504 plan is a way for schools to provide support for students with a disability so that they can learn in a regular classroom.
The name 504 plan comes from Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. This law prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in programs or activities that receive federal funding (such as public schools or publicly funded private schools). This ensures that students with disabilities can get a free education that works for them.

Multilingual Learners
English is a second language for 40% of our students. Educational services, evaluation, curriculum modifications and accommodations are offered to children through individualized learning programs. Families plan with teachers, related services professionals and specialists to coordinate educational plans for students. At GLCPS, students who require ML support receive direct instruction in English language development along with Sheltered English Instruction. We communicate with families in their preferred language, including written translations and oral interpretations.
