Special Education Local Plan Areas

Each Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) is a consortium of participating school districts (and independent charter schools) formed for the purpose of ensuring that quality special education programs and services are available throughout the region to meet the individual needs of students with disabilities.

SELPA Acronyms

In partnership with member districts, the SELPA provides high quality services and support related to special education programs in such areas as curriculum/program development, budget planning and review, interagency coordination, personnel development, legal assistance, fiscal management, evaluation, management information systems, program coordination, transition planning and Community Advisory Committee support.

The Special Education Local Plan is the foundation for these services. Each SELPA region is governed by a board of directors, which is made up of the superintendents of each participating school district, and is chaired by County Schools.

There are six SELPAs that operate within San Bernardino County; County Schools is the administrative unit for the three multi-district SELPAs:
