What We Do
Our number one priority is to support teaching and learning in a world class environment. This support is reflected in the quality of professional development offerings, the programs established to meet the needs of all learners and special initiatives to address the goals and objectives of excellence in our schools. The division represents the academic interests of Richland School District Two and is engaged in the delivery of comprehensive educational services.
Richland Two provides many services for students with disabilities. Special Services are available for students experiencing physical, emotional, behavioral and/or learning difficulties. Each school has an Intervention Assistance Team (IAT) which accepts referrals from parents and teachers concerning students with significant educational and/or behavioral issues.
