Twin Lakes Educational Cooperative (TLEC) consists of USD 379 Clay County, the sponsoring district, and 4 neighboring districts:
USD 223 Barnes-Hanover-Linn
USD 334 Southern Cloud-Miltonvale-Glasco
USD 378 Riley County
USD 384 Blue Valley-Randolph-Olsburg
TLEC's purpose is to identify all students in the five districts who have special education needs and to provide the necessary special education programs and services as specified by the Kansas State Department of Education. All programs must meet the requirements and specifications that are mandated in federal and state statutes. Parent and student basic rights are to be maintained at all times. These rights include:
the right to non-discriminatory testing in the evaluation stage
confidentiality of all records
the assurance of special education programs in the least restrictive environment as defined in federal law.
Students must meet Kansas State Department of Education eligibility criteria and need special education services in order to receive such services.
The Kansas Special Education Policy Handbook states that "Each local education agency shall provide age-appropriate opportunities for the participation of disabled students with nondisabled students in nonacademic and other curricular services and activities to the maximum extent appropriate to the needs and interests of disabled students." Building administrators should be contacted for a detailed listing of all nonacademic and extracurricular services and activities available to all students.
The Twin Lakes Educational Cooperative's goal is to provide for educational opportunities, which will contribute to the development of each exceptional child in accordance with his or her capabilities. If you would like more information about any of the services or think you have a child who may need such services or have any questions, please contact :
