Building Belonging for Special Education & Student Services
The Lower Merion School District is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment for all students and employees. Building Belonging goes beyond ensuring that every student has equal access to the District's educational programs and activities to ensure that each student has the support to learn and grow while being true to themselves.
Our commitment to Building Belonging by embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is embedded in the District's official policies, including Policy and Administrative Regulations 101 Equity, as well as the goals of our Strategic Plan.

LMSD is committed to ensuring that our curriculum is disability inclusive. Education should be inclusive and accessible, but it also must include accurate and positive/neutral representation of disability as well as teach about how disability has been viewed throughout time and the changes and movements over different periods of time.
