Black Hawk Area Sp Ed District

Located at 4670 11th Street in East Moline, Illinois, the Black Hawk Area Special Education District serves as an active, public regional educational organization dedicated to specialized student support. Situated in a large suburban setting within the greater Davenport-Moline-Rock Island metropolitan area, this non-charter district operates four specialized school facilities. Rather than maintaining standard general education grade levels, the district functions as a regional cooperative focused on special education and vocational instruction, providing tailored learning environments and tailored programming for students who require individualized developmental and academic interventions.

To carry out its mission, the district maintains a robust and multidisciplinary professional workforce totaling approximately 255 full-time equivalent staff members. Its instructional core includes over 66 full-time equivalent teachers and 53 instructional aides, fostering a highly attentive, small-group learning environment. This educational team is reinforced by an expansive support staff of more than 135 full-time equivalent specialists, encompassing administrative, therapeutic, and auxiliary personnel. Together, this comprehensive staffing structure ensures that the district delivers the intensive resources, specialized care, and collaborative environment necessary to serve families, partner schools, and researchers dedicated to exceptional education.
