Exceptional Children
The mission of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction’s Office of Exceptional Children is to ensure that students with disabilities develop intellectually, physically, emotionally, and vocationally through the provision of an appropriate individualized education program in the least restrictive environment. The MINA Charter School of Lee County emphatically supports this mission and is dedicated to achieving its objectives in our school and in our community.
Please utilize these resources any time MINA Charter School of Lee County may be of service to you.
