Applications for all K-12 special education co-ops will be considered, however, preference will be given to districts forming a Deaf/Hard of Hearing and/or Blind/Visually Impaired cooperative.
Services are not limited to a self-contained setting, but may also include itinerant staff who travel among member districts to provide consultation, instruction, and/or therapy.
Applications are due by June 30, 2010.
