Special Education
Coop Tech is a career and technical education program that is open to students with and without disabilities.
Classes are taught by certified CTE teachers and vary in size (classes are capped at 28 students). As course
demands, sequences and class sizes may vary, it is important that students work closely with their Guidance
Counselor, Transition Coordinator and Parents/Guardians to choose courses that best match their interest and
ability. High schools should include conversations about Coop Tech in IEP meetings to ensure that the program
students receive at Coop Tech is described appropriately and included in students’ IEPs.
Students who are mandated to receive full-time 1:1 paraprofessional support are expected to attend Coop
Tech with either (1) their assigned paraprofessional or (2) the high school may elect to send another
appropriately trained 1:1 paraprofessional with the student.
IEP mandated special transportation and related accommodations must be arranged by high schools.
Translators, FM units and other adaptive equipment are also arranged by high schools and are expected to
accompany students to Coop Tech when needed.

District 75 applicants must be referred by their home school after careful consideration and conversations
with parents/guardians, D75 staff, and students. District 75 registration procedures can be accessed via the
