Where does the process begin?
Building Support Committee
The Building Support Committee (BSC) offers teachers support for students with varying needs. This assistance includes providing services that are available in your child’s school and at the district level. The role of the committee is to determine which service(s) will most benefit the student. A plan to implement the identified support is also developed by the BSC committee.
Each school in Mount Laurel has its own BSC Committee. Each month, administrators, teachers, school counselors and other district staff members work collaboratively to assist teachers in meeting the needs of all students.
