for any of the following: hard of hearing, deaf, speech-impared,
health-impared, orthopedically impaired, mentally retarded, seriously
emotionally disturbed, multi-handicapped, visually handicapped,
deaf and blind; and 2) adapts curriculum, materials or instruction
for students served. Vocational Education School-A public elementary/secondary
school that focuses primarily on vocational education, and provides
education and training in one or more semi-skilled or technical
operations. Alternative Education School-A public elementary/secondary
school that: 1) address needs of students that typically cannot
be met in a regular school. 2) provides nontraditional education,
3) serves as an adjunct to a regular school, or 4) falls outside
of the categories of regular, special education, or vocational education.
