Special Education services offered within IUSD schools include the following classroom settings:
- General Education Setting with Accommodations: Students who experience mild learning difficulties receive individualized accommodations under the supervision of a general education-credentialed teacher.
- Resource Specialist Program (RSP) Setting: Students who experience learning difficulties in one or more subject areas (as measured by formal assessments and identified in their IEPs) are part of the Resource Specialist Program (RSP) Setting. These students attend general education classes taught by credentialed special education teachers in the deficit subject area. There are RSP programs at all schools in the Inglewood Unified School District.
- Special Day Class (SDC) Setting: Due to their individual needs, students who require a more intensive, Least-Restricted Environment are taught in a Special Day Class (SDC) and will be mainstreamed into general education as specified by their Individualized Education Plan (IEP). SDC classes are available at all schools in the Inglewood Unified School District.
