To implement its commitment to the education of students with disabilities, the Board of Education annually appoints a Committee of Preschool Special Education (CPSE), a Committee on Special Education (CSE) and Subcommittees on Special Education. The committees are appointed in accordance with the provisions of New York Education Law, Sections 4402 and 4410 and Section 200.3 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. Section 4410 of the Education Law which established the Committee on Preschool Special Education was signed into Law on July 5, 1989, and the CPSE established for the first time during the 1989/90 school year. Major Functions of the CPSE and CSE include:

• Identifying, evaluating, and recommending programs, and services for students with disabilities.

• Assuring that the appropriate due process safeguards are provided for each student.

• Maintaining an annually revised register of all students with disabilities who reside in the district and who are eligible to attend preschool or public school during the coming year. 

• Reporting to the Board of Education on the adequacy and status of programs, services and facilities made available to school-age students with disabilities by the school district, and, for preschool students, by public and private agencies within the County of Monroe.

• Reporting to the New York State Education department data regarding student performance, timelines and graduation rates.
