Brown Co KS Special Ed Coop

The underlying philosophy of the Brown County Kansas Special Education Interlocal program is the fact that each child deserves the opportunity to develop himself as nearly as possible to his potential. This is the reason for the existence of the BCK-SEI - to provide all services necessary to insure each exceptional child an opportunity to achieve as nearly as possible to the maximum of that child's capabilities. The districts who are a part of the BCK-SEI are striving to make the Brown County Kansas Special Education Interlocal one of the best, if not THE best, interlocal in the state of Kansas. In doing so, the exceptional children within the districts will receive the best services available in the state. The general objectives of the interlocal are as follows: 1. To provide an appropriate education for every qualifying student within the boundaries of the cooperating districts. 2. To develop self-actualization: to stimulate the maximum development of abilities and skills that each individual possesses. 3.
