California Education Code 56303 states, “A pupil shall be referred for special educational instruction and services only after the resources of the regular education program have been considered and, where appropriate, utilized.” The ABC Unified School District Student Study Team process ensures that schools use a systematic and comprehensive process to provide accommodations within the general education program for students who are experiencing challenges in the general education setting.
