School Overview

The facility located at 2410 Girard Ave N in Minneapolis serves as the hub for the **Minneapolis Public Schools’ Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) assessment services**. Rather than operating as a traditional K-12 classroom school, this site functions as a specialized evaluation center where children (typically ages birth to five) are referred to determine if they qualify for state-funded early intervention and special education support.

The primary purpose of this location is to provide comprehensive developmental screenings and multi-disciplinary assessments. Specialists—such as speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and early childhood educators—work here to evaluate a child’s cognitive, motor, social-emotional, and communication skills. If a child is found to have a qualifying developmental delay or disability, the team at this facility helps families navigate the process of creating an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) to ensure the child receives the necessary academic and therapeutic support before they reach kindergarten age.

* 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).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
