Welcome!
Welcome!
Our role as Special Educators in the Andover School District is to provide a Free Appropriate Public Education to students with disabilities from age three through twenty-two as required by the legal mandates of the New Hampshire Department of Education.
We will accomplish this through the following measures:
Assessing students in all areas related to the suspected disability
Accessibility to the regular curriculum
Consideration of how the disability impacts the student’s learning
Developing goals and objectives that most appropriately meet the needs of the student
Choosing a placement in the least restrictive environment

Procedural Safeguards
The Andover School District provides special education programs and services pursuant to Public Law 94-142, NH RSA 186.c and NH Standards for Education of Handicapped Students.
The Andover School District has a duty to locate, evaluate and identify any child residing in the District who qualifies for Special Education services. Children eligible for special education include those children with disabilities who have autism, deaf-blindness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, intellectual delay, specific learning disability, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, acquired brain injury, visual impairment, or developmental delay and who, because of such an impairment, need special education services.
If you suspect your child has a disability and may need special education services, or if you would like additional information, please contact your child's teacher, or the AEMS Director of Student Support Services Beth Page at 735-5494.
Special Education Records Retention, ASB Policy EHB-R (B; 1):
Upon a student's graduation from high school, his or her parent(s)/ guardian(s) may request in writing that the District destroy the student's special education records, including any final individualized education program.
The District shall provide public notice of its document destruction policy at least annually.
The District shall provide parents/guardians, or where applicable, the adult student, with a written notice of the District's document destruction policies upon the student's graduation with a regular high school diploma or at the transfer of rights, whichever occurs first.
A permanent record of a student's name, address, and phone number, his or her grades, attendance record, classes attended, grade level completed, and year completed may be maintained without time limitation.
Absent any request by a student's parents to destroy the records prior to the 26th birthday, or to retain such records until the student's 30th birthday, the District shall destroy a student's records and final individualized education program within a reasonable time after the student's 26th birthday, provided that all such records be destroyed by the student's 30th birthday.
The parent(s)/guardian(s) may, at any time prior to the student's 26th birthday, request, in writing, that the records be retained until the student's 30th birthday.
