Program Info

The Chickamauga City School System provides a free, appropriate, public education in the least restrictive environment for all students with a disability. This includes individualized instruction to meet a student's educational needs in an effort to prepare the student for post-secondary education and/or employment and independent living. CCS offers a continuum of services for students identified as eligible under the State of Georgia Regulations for Special Education. Disability areas served are specific learning disability, emotional/behavior disorder, intellectual disability, significant developmental delay, visual impairment, deaf/hard of hearing, traumatic brain injury, deaf blind, orthopedic impairment, autism spectrum disorder, speech and language impairment and other health impairment.

At Chickamauga City we believe that all students can learn and high expectations and support lead to greater student success. The partnership between the school and parents is valuable to a child’s education. I look forward to working together so that we can provide the best education possible.
