A Message from Our CAO

Welcome to the West End Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA)

It is an honor to serve our member districts, community, and students as Chief Administrative Officer. At WESELPA, we are committed to a student-centered philosophy that values strong relationships with our district and community partners. Our mission is to provide high-quality educational programs and services that promote the success of all students, with a continued focus on best practices for those with special needs.

Through collaboration, innovation, and dedication, we strive to make WESELPA a premier special education organization in San Bernardino County and across California. Thank you for the opportunity to serve and support our students as they pursue academic excellence, personal growth, and social-emotional wellbeing.

I look forward to connecting with you at our schools, professional development events, and community gatherings. Cheers to a successful school year and remember, in the West End, “We Educate, We Care, WESELPA.”

Warmest regards,

Ricky Alyassi
