Child Find
If you have a child between the ages of 3 and 21 that you have reason to suspect may be in need of special education services, you have the right to refer your child to the Committee on Preschool Education (CPSE; for children age 3 until age 5) or the Committee on Special Education (CSE; for children age 5 to age 21). For preschool-aged children, you may contact the District's CPSE Coordinator, Dr. Rachael Goldrich, and for school-aged children, you may contact the Director of Special Education, Dr. Rukmini Bhalla.
