Job Description
As the fastest growing, highest-performing charter school network in New York State, Success Academy is reimagining K-12 public education.

We now need a results-driven Senior Specialist to join our Special Education (Sprint) team.
Success Academies has a profoundly innovative schooling model that achieves outstanding results at scale, and our approach to children with Special Education services is just as radical.
We begin with the core belief that disability does not mean an inability, that no child should be written off because of learning differences.
Fifteen percent of our scholars receive Special Education support, and we designed and launched the Sprint program to ensure we provide these scholars with an outstanding education.
While the identification of scholars in need of Special Education supports and the execution of the necessary interventions are carried out at the school-level, a supporting Network capability has shared responsibility and accountability for these scholars.
