FLETCHER MILLER SPECIAL NEEDS SCHOOL

Jeffco School District hired MOA to design the replacement of the Fletcher Miller Special Needs School. Fletcher Miller supports special needs students from throughout the district in grades 4-12.

This project is a replacement school for Jefferson County School. The new building is a modernization and consolidation of programs on an existing school district site. Fletcher Miller School serves approximately 100 students with severe physical and intellectual disabilities who are unable to attend their neighborhood school due to the level of care required. Teacher to student ratios approach 3:1 with many support staff to meet student needs, including paraprofessionals, physical/occupational therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses. There are many auxillary student spaces including therapy gyms and physical therapy treatment rooms. Student ages range from Pre-K through age 21 and up for a transitional program. Multiple playgrounds and challenge courses are included on the site to assist with physical therapy and mimic environments outside of school for student development and comfort.
