Special Education

Welcome to the Pupil Services Department

The Pupil Services Department is dedicated to providing supports and resources to students and families of the Union-Endicott school community, including special education, related services, CSE, and CPSE services. Recommendations for special education programs and services are made by the Committee on Special Education or the Committee on Preschool Special Education based on individual student's academic, social, management, physical needs, and determination of a disability.
Any questions regarding our special education programs and services can be directed to Kerry Zostant, Director of Pupil Services.

Special Education Child Find

What is Child Find?
"Child find" refers to the process of locating, identifying, and evaluating children with disabilities to ensure that they receive services to which they are entitled. Children and youth, age birth to 21, living in the Union-Endicott Central School District, who are suspected of having a disability, may be referred for a possible evaluation to determine if they are eligible for special education services. This includes district residents who are attending private schools.
