ECSSA is ready, willing and able to serve all eligible students. All children with disabilities residing in the state, regardless of the severity of their disabilities, and who are in need of special education and related services, must be identified, located, and evaluated.
Ellis County Shared Services is committed to providing special education to every child with a disability who resides in our districts or who attends a private or home school in our district.
