Pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities

Education Act and New Jersey Administrative Code

Title 6A:14, Special Education

The Township of Union Public School District has a responsibility to locate, identify, and evaluate all resident students with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services, including students with disabilities attending nonpublic schools, and highly mobile pupils such as migrant workers’ children and homeless children, regardless of the severity of their disabilities.  The school district locates, identifies and evaluates, where appropriate, the following: Children below school-entry age (3-5); school age children; children entering school for the first time; children enrolled in public and private schools; transfer pupils and school age children who are eligible to attend school but who are not attending school and who are residents of Township of Union School District.  Upon written request, the district will conduct an initial identification meeting for any resident child to determine whether a referral for special education and related services is appropriate.  Such a request may be made by contacting Kim Conti, Director of Special Services, Township of Union Public Schools at 908-851-4426 or by writing her at 2369 Morris Avenue, Union, New Jersey 07083.  The school district provides special education and related services for children ages 3 to 21.  Information for children with potential disabilities or those with disabilities from birth to three is available through Project Child Find (a service established by the NJ Department of Education through IDEA, Part B funds from the US Department of Education) at 1-800-322-8174.
