GUSD, following California Department of Education policies and federal laws, focuses on integrating students with special needs into the classroom. Studies show that this type of inclusive teaching is a great benefit to students. Often, it is not obvious which students are receiving special education services - this is intentional.

If a parent has a specific question or concern about their own child's IEP or special education services, they should contact the GUSD special education department directly at (818) 241-3111 ext. 1205, or email Dr. Deb Rinder at drinder@gusd.net.
