October is Disability History and Awareness Month, which provides an opportunity to celebrate our students with special needs. VBCPS serves more than 7,800 students with special needs and they are supported by nearly 1,200 special education teachers and staff. In addition, there are a number of programs and clubs throughout the division that provide additional support and resources for the students. One of those clubs, The Beach Buddies at Cox High School, brings the student body together by creating an environment of respect and friendship.
