The Covered Bridge Special Education District, an interlocal special education planning district formed in 1978, provides consultation services to the combined student populations of the the South Vermillion Community School Corporation and the Vigo County School Corporation. Comprehensive special education services are provided by each local school corporation to students with disabilities within the two districts. Selected services are provided to non public schools within these districts. Programs are provided for all students with disabilities as identified in IDEA 2004 and Indiana's Article 7.
The Covered Bridge Special Education District is governed by a Board of Directors. The members of the Board are the superintendents of each of the two participating school corporations along with a school principal appointed by each superintendent and two lay members appointed by the Vigo County School Corporation. The CBSED Board of Directors has the authority to adopt policies which are the assurances of the local Corporation to the federal and state government that the requirements of the law will be met.
