Program and Services

Located at LPVEC’s main campus in West Springfield, the TAP program is designed to provide temporary educational instruction while students are transitioning between placements or suspended from current programming. It serves students in grades 6-12.

TAP is a highly supervised and structured placement that provides clear and consistent behavioral and academic expectations.

Students may be placed in TAP for the duration of an external suspension.

For students placed on an external suspension, academic work, including any materials needed, will be provided by the sending district.

Students have access to computers if needed at any time for academic purposes. Students in the TAP program also have the opportunity to participate in physical education classes.

Admission Procedure

Special Education students are referred by their home district. The referral goes through a comprehensive clinical review to determine appropriate placement.
