*This is a state required notification Child Find

Area school districts are participating with those across the state in an effort to identify, locate and evaluate all children from birth through 21 who may have disabilities. Many unidentified children with disabilities are preschoolers, and parents may not be aware their child has a disability or that there are programs and services available. Anyone knowing of a child who may have a disability should contact the school. Dover City Schools receives IDEA-B funds for the purpose of the education of children with disabilities. Annually, at the September Board of Education Meeting, discussion will be held regarding how the District will spend its IDEA-B

funds and time will be allowed for public comment.
