Message from Adam Rowlands

Dear Millburn Community,

I am honored to serve as the Director of Student Services for Millburn District 24. Our team is dedicated to supporting every student's academic, social, and emotional development by providing comprehensive services tailored to diverse needs.

We oversee a range of programs, including Special Education, Section 504 accommodations, Multilingual Learner support, Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), Early Childhood, and more. Our team collaborates closely with all educators, families, and community partners to create inclusive environments where all students can thrive.

I encourage you to explore our resources and reach out with any questions or suggestions. Together, we can ensure that every student receives the support they need to succeed.

Warm regards,

 

 

Welcome to the Student Services Department

Child Find

Child Find is an ongoing process through which all children, from birth through 21 (i.e., through the day before the student’s 22nd birthday), who may be eligible for early intervention, or who may be in need of special education services are identified, located and evaluated.
Each school district is responsible for actively locating, identifying, and evaluating all children who live within the district boundaries who may qualify to receive special education and/or related services. 

 

A request for an initial educational evaluation may also be made by a parent of a child or by an employee of a State educational agency, another State agency, a local educational agency, or a community service agency.  Within 14 school days of receiving a request for an evaluation, the district shall determine whether an evaluation is warranted.  If the district determines not to conduct an evaluation, it shall provide written notice to the parents in accordance with 34 CFR 300.503(b).  If an evaluation is to be conducted, the district shall convene a team of individuals (including the parent) having the knowledge and skills necessary to administer and interpret evaluation data.  The composition of the team will vary depending on the nature of the child's symptoms and other relevant factors.  The team shall identify the assessments necessary to complete the evaluation in accordance with 34 CFR 300.305.
