SPECIAL EDUCATION
All students possess unique physical, intellectual and cognitive characteristics which influence instruction. Maya High School seeks to maximize the potential of all students regardless of ability. Every newly enrolled child at Maya High School undergoes a 45 day screening process to monitor for potential physical, cognitive or emotional disabilities. If a student enrolls at Maya High School with an active or expired IEP (Individual Education Plan), the student’s records are immediately forwarded to the student services coordinator. If a student is perceived to have a disability or documentation indicates the student has received services, the student services coordinator may discuss further action needed with staff and the student’s family.If parents perceive that their child is not benefiting from general education services they may request, at no cost, an evaluation of their child’s cognitive and intellectual ability. The student services coordinator in conjunction with school staff will review requests and respond to parents in a timely manner, in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. If an evaluation is warranted, the school will provide complete results within 60 calendar days of a written request. Students and families have the right to appeal decisions made by Maya High School’s staff. Appeals or grievances will be directed to the principal.
Students who are eligible for special education services will receive special education services in the least restrictive environment and will receive appropriate instruction with the full implementation of their Individualized Education Plan.Students who receive their education with guidance from an Individualized Education Program may benefit from a range of scheduling options and small group instruction.

Students and families who disagree with program or placement options may, in writing, file a grievance with the principal. The principal will review all concerns and respond in a timely manner. If a student or family member disagrees with a school-based decision, the student or family member may contact the school’s management company, The Leona Group of Arizona, L.L.C.
