Special/Gifted Education

The Otto-Eldred School District offers a wide-range of educational services for students with special needs.  The majority of our special education students are provided with educational services within the district.   If a student presents with significant academic, behavioral, social, and/or emotional needs that can not be met within our district, we have intensive educational programming outside of the Otto-Eldred School District that we are able to access.  Otto-Eldred School District will provide FAPE for any enrolling student.

Otto-Eldred School District operates a Gifted Education Program.  Students who qualify with a need for Gifted Education will receive that programming during their academic day.  

If you have questions or concerns about our Special Education Programs or Gifted Education Program, you may contact Lindsay Burns, Assistant Principal / Special Programs Coordinator at (814) 814-1380 opt. 4 or via email at [email protected].
