I want to know the age range of students allowed in a special education class in Missour for elementary school.

Hi ek1, Thank you for the clarification. I'm sorry, but I'm still not sure that I understand. Looking at the chart I sent, grades one and two have a difference in age of three years, the rest are four years. Could you please send the link you found for Illinois? That way we could see exactly what kind of data you are looking for. Thank you, hummer

This is the link address I found for Illinois: http://www.isbe.state.il.us/spec-ed/classsize.htm ___________________________________________________ Below is the information I need for Missouri. If you notice Illinois is very clear that this is the size anf age range for special education. I can't find anything that clear for Missouri. _____________________________________________________ Illinois information Special Education Class Size/Age Range Requirements Per 23 Illinois Administrative Code 226.720 & 226.730 Section 226.720 Facilities and Classes a) Facilities used for special education services shall be appropriate to, and adequate for, the specific programs or services for which they are used and, pursuant to Section 14-8.01 of the School Code, shall be subject to the applicable provisions of 23 Ill.

What I want is the age range of students sitting in a special education classroom in Missouri. I found there can't be more than a 4 years difference in age in Illinois, but I can't find the range for Missouri. What you sent me was how old you have to be for a particular grade.

Hi ek1, I'm sorry, I'm just not having any luck other than what I already found. How about this - for a $15 donation to MO-FEAT/The SEA. , you will receive the CD "Special Education in Missouri - 2002". You can read about it and download a sample here: http://www.mo-feat.org/SpEdMO02.htm Regards, hummer
