Child Find Notice
It is the responsibility of the Tantasqua Regional and Union 61 School Districts to identify any child ages 3 through 21 who may have a disability who is either a resident of Brimfield, Brookfield, Holland, Sturbridge, or Wales or who attends a private school within the geographic boundaries of Brimfield, Brookfield, Holland, Sturbridge, or Wales. This also includes children who reside in Brimfield, Brookfield, Holland, Sturbridge, or Wales who are homeschooled, as well as children ages 3 through 21 who are not yet enrolled in school.
Tantasqua Regional and Union 61 School Districts are also responsible for the evaluation of those students to determine if they are eligible for special education or related services under federal and state law.
Tantasqua Regional and Union 61 School Districts are also committed to identifying children before their third birthday in order to provide early intervention services for three and four-year-olds with disabilities. If you have questions or concerns regarding a child's development and would like to have the child screened, please contact the Office of Special Education.
If you suspect that the child may need an evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services, a parent, any person in a caregiving position, or any person in a professional position who is working with that child may request an evaluation, at no cost, through the Office of Special Education.
