CHILD FIND

Child Find is an ongoing cooperative effort that must involve state and local education agencies, parents, the community, professionals, related organizations, and private schools. This involvement is based on the premise that parents and public agency personnel, working together cooperatively, can successfully locate and identify children in need of early intervention or special education and related services.

 Each local agency is responsible for ensuring that all children with disabilities from birth to twenty-one (21) years within its jurisdiction and in need of special education and related services are located, identified and evaluated at no cost to the parent or guardian.

 In an effort to fulfill this requirement the Prescott School District invites you to contact your area school district if you know of a child in need of special education or related services.

 For more information you may contact:

 Kimberly Grimes, Prescott Elementary Principal (870) 887-2514

Jay Turley, Prescott Jr. High Principal (870) 887-2521

Tommy Poole, Prescott High School Principal (870) 887-3123
