Canyon State Educational Solutions is an independent agency that specializes in providing Special Education Services to public education and state government agencies.
Headed by highly-qualified education specialist Beth Ferry, Canyon State Educational Solutions (CSES) addresses the crucial Special Education requirements of small schools that do not need or cannot afford a full-time Special Education Director. Read the Scope of Services below to see how CSES can benefit your organization.
All districts, regardless of size, require the expertise of a Special Education Director. However, many small districts without the funding to support a full-time Director have chosen to have teachers fulfill this responsibility. This arrangement creates difficulties, as the teachers simply do not have the expertise or time to complete many of the tasks. In addition, and most importantly, it takes the teacher away from the students.
Canyon State Educational Solutions is able to provide these services based on the actual needs of the district. For those very small districts, the responsibilities can be fulfilled within just one to two days per month.

School of the Month
The Yucca Elementary School has been in existence since the early 1900's. It began as a one-room schoolhouse with no electricity. In the winter, some of the older students would come early every morning and light the wood stove before school began. The teacher lived on school grounds in a small building called a "teacherage" which consisted of a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The teacher was responsible for teaching all grades, taking care of district budgets and paperwork, as well as janitorial work.
