Local Process
All special education evaluations for children enrolled in OLL grades K through 8th are processed through the Malverne School District's Special Education Department. Please contact their office in writing to start the process. (This holds true even if you live in a school district other than 12. Please be aware, you will be required to register your child in school district 12 regardless of what school district you reside.)
