School Administrative Unit 41, which consists of the Hollis, Brookline and Hollis/Brookline school districts, seeks to locate all children who may have an educational disability.
Any person may refer a child younger than 21 for evaluation for several reasons, including these:
Failing to pass a hearing or vision screening.
Unsatisfactory performance on group achievement or accountability measures.
Receiving multiple academic or behavioral warnings.
Repeatedly failing one or more subject.
Referrals may be initiated in a variety of ways.
For children who attend Hollis and Brookline public schools, principals, special education coordinators or classroom teachers may be contacted by anyone wishing to initiate a referral.
For children who attend Hollis Montessori School or children who havenât yet entered kindergarten, call Jeanne Saunders, director of special education, at 465-7118, ext. 1, to initiate a referral.
Parents of students in kindergarten through high school who attend private schools outside Hollis or Brookline should contact the district in which the school is located to make a referral.
