Support, information, and coordinated services in community settings are what families tell us to enhance their ability to manage the challenges and celebrate the gifts that each child has to offer.
Prince George's County Public Schools: The Nonpublic Office supports the provision of specialized instruction for students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment.

Nonpublic Specialists provide case management services to ensure services are delivered in compliance with local, state and federally mandated laws, regulations, and procedures.
