Child Find Information

Chester County School District has in effect several policies and procedures to ensure that the school district will identify, locate, and evaluate all children residing in the county with disabilities who may be in need of special education and related services. This includes all children ages 3 to 21 who attend public or private schools; those who are home schooled; those who are homeless or are wards of the state.

To schedule a Child Find appointment, call Brantly Taylor at (803) 581-9556 or email childfind@chester.k12.sc.us.
