Purpose: Meeting the Needs of All Learners

Massachusetts General Laws require the adoption and implementation of a District Curriculum Accommodation Plan (DCAP). This plan is intended to guide principals, teachers, and staff in ensuring that all possible efforts are made to meet student needs in general education classrooms.
