Director of Special Education and Student Services

The Plum Borough School District Special Education and Student Services Department is committed to supporting the academic, social, emotional, and health needs of every student. Our team works collaboratively with families, teachers, and school staff to ensure that students have access to the services and supports they need to succeed in school and prepare for their future.

The department includes Special Education, Section 504 Service Agreements, and Gifted Education in accordance with Pennsylvania Chapters 14, 15, and 16. Special Education and Student Services also coordinates a wide range of related services and supports through a multidisciplinary team that includes school nurses, social workers, school psychologists, school counselors, and other specialized professionals. The Department also works to support parent education and engagement, partnering with families to help them understand available services, navigate the support process, and actively participate in their child’s educational planning and progress.
