SPECIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT

The Hollister School District is committed to the belief that all students can succeed—because success is our only option.

To ensure every student receives the support they need, the district follows all policies and procedures outlined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), and the Hollister Special Education Policy and Procedure Manual.

We provide specialized instruction and related services to students who qualify for public school services, ensuring access to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment. Our team works in partnership with families to meet each student’s unique needs and help them reach their full potential.
