Calaveras County Special Education (SELPA)

The Calaveras County Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA), located in Angels Camp, California, serves as the regional administrative hub for coordinating special education services across Calaveras County. Operating under the umbrella of the Calaveras County Office of Education (CCOE), the organization ensures that students with disabilities—from infancy through age 22—receive appropriate educational opportunities in compliance with federal and state mandates. By facilitating collaboration between local school districts and charter schools, the SELPA helps standardize the delivery of specialized instruction and support services to ensure all students have equitable access to the curriculum.

Beyond administrative oversight, the office acts as a vital resource for families, educators, and community members. The SELPA provides guidance on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), offers professional development for school staff, and manages regional programs designed to address diverse learning needs. Through their website and local initiatives, they strive to foster an inclusive educational environment, ensuring that students with unique learning challenges receive the necessary resources, therapies, and accommodations to thrive within the public school system.
