Special Education

Franklin Towne Charter High School provides services, supports, and resources designed to help students access their education, grow academically, and succeed as members of our school community.

What We Do

Supporting students and families

Franklin Towne offers a variety of services for students with disabilities identified under state law. If your child has a medical condition, a 504 Plan, or an IEP, you will be asked to share this information after the student is accepted.

Our Student Services team works with students, families, teachers, and school staff to provide programs and supports that allow students to access their education and make meaningful academic progress.
