A Day in the Life

of a MUSD Special Education Teacher

  • High-quality education, support, and instruction for every child in every classroom
  • Safe and secure learning and working environments
  • Employees properly trained through ongoing professional development
  • State-of-the-art tech accessible to all students and staff
  • Parent and community involvement in the educational process


All MUSD schools are fully accredited, tuition-free public schools.
