Administrative Support for Cluster Schools

Prince William County Public Schools organizes schools into regional “clusters,” each supported by a dedicated team that helps coordinate special education services across its elementary, middle, and high schools. This structure makes it easier for families to know whom to contact and ensures consistent, well‑aligned support for students with disabilities.
