  • Asbestos removal is a problem that public schools all across the state are currently dealing with. In accordance with the Federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, an inspection and review have been completed in the Milford Area Public Schools system. A report has been prepared on the assessment and response action plan to reduce exposure to asbestos fibers. Copies of the plan are located in the Director of Building & Ground’s office.

    The plan is available to the public for inspection without cost or restriction within five working days after receiving a written request for inspection. Hours of availability and a copy of the form, “Request for Inspection of Management Plan”, will be provided upon request. Should a request be made for a copy of the report, the school district is allowed to charge a reasonable fee to make copies of the plan.

  • Your child, if handicapped, is entitled to an education as are all children. This right for an appropriate and effective special education program is guaranteed through state and federal law.

    Based on the needs of the child, as identified in the IEP, placement should be made in a program which is as much like the standard programs for other children as possible. Special classes and separate schools should be placement considerations only when the nature, severity, or complexity of your child’s handicap prevents the achievement of a satisfactory education program in a regular class.

    If it is determined in the multi-disciplinary conference that your child’s educational needs cannot be met through a public school special education program, the school district must provide an appropriate and the least restrictive environment.

    Special educational instructional programs and related services are available to handicapped children between the ages of 3 and 21 who are enrolled in the local school district. Both parents and students shall be aware that special education services terminate following the granting of a diploma.

    Handicapped persons may obtain information regarding the existence and location of services, activities, and accessible facilities by calling the Iroquois Special Education Association (ISEA) in Gilman at 815-683-2662.

    Milford Area Public Schools #124 provides equal access to all programs, activities, and curriculum regardless of race, color, sex, national origin, or handicap.

  • Milford Area Public Schools #124 shall provide an educational environment that treats all students with dignity and respect. Every homeless student shall have equal access to the same free and appropriate educational opportunities as students who are not homeless. This commitment to the educational rights of homeless children, youth, and youth not living with a parent or guardian, applies to all services, programs, and activities provided or made available, as prescribed in the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.

    In an effort to comply with the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, Milford Area Public Schools #124 affirms that all Homeless Students will not be denied the benefits of, or be subject to, discrimination under any educational program or activity as students who are not homeless.
