The Charter SELPA is a cooperative model designed to ensure special education programs are available for all students with disabilities. For more information, news and events visit their <\/span>\n main website<\/a>. If you are a parent of an IEP student and need to contact El Dorado Charter SELPA, their toll-free number is <\/span>\n 1-800-524-8100.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
