Special Education

Many students with special needs can gain valuable work ethic and employability skills by attending a career center. Buckeye Career Center recognizes its duty and privilege to provide assistance to students with special needs to help them develop to their maximum potential.

Vocational Special Education Coordinator, Tina Bernardi, works with associate school personnel, parents and teachers in order to determine the optimum Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each student. In addition, she educates and updates staff with necessary information, distributes required documents and acquires appropriate assistive technologies and personnel for the students.

Buckeye dedicates seven academic teachers to serving students with special needs who require academic support. We offer Intervention classes in English, Math, Social Studies and Science, and Inclusion classes in English and Math.

In addition to Academic support for students with special needs, Buckeye Career Center offers three vocational programs dedicated to providing skill training: Project SEARCH- located at Union Hospital, Custodial Services and Hospitality Services.
