Leslie Montoro, Executive Director of Student Services, presented the Del Mar Union School District’s Inclusive Practices report at the April 22 meeting. The report highlighted elements of early childhood inclusion, the district’s Portrait of a Learner competencies (including adaptability and critical thinking), peer‑model supports, and communication tools such as placemats to support inclusion in classrooms and early‑childhood settings.
Board members asked clarifying questions and staff responded. Montoro framed the work as both curricular and practical: practices span early childhood settings through elementary classrooms, and the report emphasized building meaningful relationships and supports so students with diverse needs can participate in general‑education experiences.
