—— Child Find & Referrals
Identifying & Supporting Students
Pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act and relevant state law, Francophone Charter School of Oakland is responsible for identifying, locating, and evaluating children with known or suspected disabilities to determine whether a need for special education and related services exists. This includes children who are homeless or wards of the State.
If you have a child who has a disability or that you suspect may have a disability, you may refer that child’s parent or guardian to Francophone Charter School of Oakland by contacting:
All referrals are considered confidential. The parent, legal guardian, or surrogate parent retains the right to refuse services and other procedural safeguards under federal and state law.
