Chisago Lakes Education Center (CLEC) is a school designed for students with special needs in the Chisago Lakes School District. Our students have high behavior, academic, and personal care needs. The program is a Setting IV Special Education Facility. CLEC supports students from Chisago Lakes School District, Rush City District, North Branch Area Schools, Pine City School District, Hinckley- Finlayson School District, and East Central School District.

In Minnesota, students receiving special education services have an individualized education program (IEP) that describes the type and location of special education and related services provided. In the public-school setting, the Instructional Setting can range from Setting 1 to Setting 4. Setting 4 is the most restrictive environment provided by a public school district. Students in Setting 4 are in a public separate school facility for more than fifty percent of the school day, and it is not a residential Setting. Students with disabilities receiving services in Setting 4 need more intensive special education and related services than can be provided in a less restrictive setting. Setting 4 facilities have specific programs for students who meet eligibility under Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Emotional Behavioral Disorder (EBD), and Developmental Cognitive Disabilities (DCD). Students with these disabilities are often highly agitated by loud noise and often struggle with a compulsion to elope/run away and they may also struggle with a fixation on elopement when they know that opportunities exist.
