In Public Schools of North Carolina, the Exceptional Children's (EC) Division provides local units with detailed procedures for the delivery of special education services. These rules and regulations are detailed and found on the NC Department of Public Instruction website for its Exceptional Children's Division. Children who meet all of the specified criteria outlined in the Policies may be entitled to special education services.

If you are new to WMPCS or have a child who has been receiving special education services at another school, contact Amanda Holton, the school's EC Coordinator.

Child Find

Evaluations are available to preschool children aged 3-5, through the Beaufort County School System.

Children or adult students who are found eligible for special education and related services are entitled to a free and appropriate special education program.
