Partner of the Year

Celebrating exemplary service to students


Every year, schools nationwide face challenges in providing essential support to students–especially those with special needs. As a result, some districts have opted for remote special education-related services to help bridge staffing gaps and expand onsite bandwidth. Our Partner of the Year award recognizes the inspiring districts that go above and beyond to create equity, lead with empathy, and demonstrate dedication as they innovate new strategies to empower diverse learners.

Congratulations to our six 2023–24 award winners! Thank you for making a difference for students with special needs.
