School Overview

The facility located at 1735 South Wagner Rd in Ann Arbor, Michigan, serves as a hub for the **Washtenaw Intermediate School District (WISD) Local-Based Special Education Programs**. Rather than a traditional neighborhood school, this site is designed to provide specialized, intensive educational environments for students with unique learning needs who require more support than what is typically available in a general education classroom. The programming here is highly individualized, focusing on functional life skills, academic growth, and therapeutic support tailored to each student’s specific Individualized Education Program (IEP).

The environment at the South Wagner site is structured to foster independence and provide a high staff-to-student ratio, ensuring that students receive the focused attention necessary for their developmental success. By centralizing these resources, the WISD is able to provide specialized equipment, sensory-friendly spaces, and a multidisciplinary team of professionals—including special education teachers, paraprofessionals, and support therapists—all in one location. This facility plays a critical role in the local educational ecosystem, ensuring that students with diverse abilities have access to a safe, inclusive, and professionally supported learning community.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
