Jasper County Community Unit 1 Schools provide and maintain appropriate and effective educational programs in order to allow every eligible child with a disability between the ages of 3 and 21 years of age to be enrolled in our district. Our district allows for special education and related services to address the adverse effect of the disability on his/her education. Jasper County schools set a very high goal to provide comprehensive programs of special education that meet and exceed state and federal special education laws for our students.

Special education resources can be found on the resources page
