The Newton Special Education Program Overview (or “Program Guide”)
The Newton Special Education Program Overview (also referred to as the “program guide”) is a document that describes all special education programs and services in Newton Public Schools. The philosophy underlying special education services in Newton is neighborhood inclusion, meeting each child’s needs in the classroom with their peers. When this model does not meet a student’s educational and emotional needs, Newton has a number of programs available as described in the program guide with additions (see historical list below). As of school year 2024-2025, the Office of Student Services is currently revising the Special Education Program Overview; therefore, a current document is not available on the NPS website. It is our understanding that updates will be made in summer 2025, with the goal of reposting the document before the next school year. (With caution that some information may be outdated, the Newton SEPAC may share the last version from 2022, upon request. Please contact us at NewtonSEPAC@gmail.com.)
