All About KWSED
Special education services have been offered to students in member districts since the 1930's. During the 1968-69 school year, an agreement was signed creating the Knox-Warren Special Education District. The purpose was to provide special education services to all eligible students in the two counties. At that time, a Director was hired and staff was obtained with contractual arrangements being made through Galesburg #205 as the administrative district.
