Dr. Lesley Thompson, Director of Exceptional Student Education

Welcome to the Exceptional Student Education Department web site! We provide the essential supports and services for students with special needs. Our programs encompass a wide span of abilities, from severe/moderate/mild disabilities to gifted education. We have a team approach that provides for students and their families as well as school administrators and teachers. We work with educators, families, and community partners to meet the challenges that our special needs students face. We welcome your questions and are happy to assist you in any way we can. In order to best help us meet your need, please visit our ESE Staff Directory to determine which staff member can best meet your area of inquiry.
