At Weakley County Schools, we believe all children can learn. Our Special Education team partners with families and teachers to create Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that meet each student’s needs and help them thrive.

We provide services for eligible students with disabilities ages 3–21, across all schools in our district. In accordance with state and federal laws, each student with a disability who is eligible for special education services is provided a free, appropriate, public education in the least restrictive environment.

Weakley County Schools seeks to identify, locate, and evaluate children who may have disabilities and may need special education services. Families who have concerns regarding their child’s development, learning, behavior, speech, or other needs are encouraged to contact their child’s school or the district Special Education Department located at the Board of Education: 731-364-2247.

When a concern is raised about a student’s learning, there’s a clear process schools follow to see if special education services are needed. Here’s what you can expect step by step.

No two children are the same, and neither are their supports. The examples below are simply to help you picture how IEPs and 504 Plans can look in practice — your child’s plan will always be personalized.
