Resource Program
Each building in the district has its own resource program. Staffing includes a resource teacher(s), paraprofessional(s), and related service providers. The level of service is determined by each student�s identified needs and the goals established on the individualized education plan (IEP). Resource teachers work closely with regular education teachers to coordinate the student�s educational program. Service delivery can be direct service or consultative. Services may be incorporated into the regular classroom setting or may be delivered in a small group or individual setting.
At the high school level, two instructional options are available-one for students who require support in general education classes and one for students who require credit classed taught by special education teachers.

Life Skills Program
There are five classrooms throughout the district (2 at Central Elementary, 1 at Sunrise Middle School, 1 at Horizon, and 1 at Kearney High School) that provide educational programming in mainly a self-contained classroom setting that has a structured environment and low student-teacher ratio to maximize learning. Basic skill development is emphasized in the following curriculum domain areas: functional academics, vocational training, motor development, personal management, and independent living.

Personal Skills Development Program
There is a personal skills development program at each of the three levels: elementary (Bryant Elementary), middle (Sunrise), and Kearney High School.
The purpose of the program is to provide a safe environment in which students can learn through direct instruction skills necessary for social interaction and effective coping strategies to handle the demands of social situations. The program varies somewhat across each of the three age groups in terms of structure and integration of students within the regular classroom setting. In each setting, privileges are earned through a level system, each student�s educational program as well as his/her behavior plan is designed by the IEP team, and there is a low student to adult ratio.

Work Experience Program
This program offers special education students in high school the opportunity to participate in on-the-job training activities. Job coaches are available to provide the level of supervision that is necessary for each student. These are non-paid positions that provide basic training in work readiness skill development.

18-21 Transition Program
This program was established to serve the transition needs of developmentally disabled young adults, ages 18-21. Students, according to their Individual Education Program, are taught the necessary skills needed for competitive employment, sheltered workshops, or day programs. Volunteer and leisure activities are also incorportated. The program is housed in an apartment setting that allows the students the opportunity to practice independent living and personal management skills.
