K-12 Special Education Supervisor
Picture

I am Heidi Lauzon, the IASD Special Education Supervisor. I was born and raised in the Norrie Location of Ironwood. I attended Norrie Elementary School and graduated from LLW in 1988. After graduating from college, I moved to Murray, Utah to teach and ski. Lake Superior and family drew me back to my hometown in the mid 90's. I landed a special education teaching job at Newport Elementary. Following that job, I was a guidance counselor at LLW and then a behavior consultant with the Gogebic-Ontonagon ISD. It is great to be back at LLW and starting my second year as the special education supervisor.

My husband, Gerard, and I have four children. Ethan is a college freshman at Roosevelt, CCPA in Chicago, IL. Abby is a sixth grader. Sarah and Joey are both in the fifth grade. Our house is complete and full with our two dogs and a cat. We enjoy biking as a family and taking an annual camping trip at Crystal Lake, WI. I am very fortunate to have my family and a job I love. 

As the Ironwood Area School District Special Education Supervisor, I oversee and administer all district evaluations and programs for children with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) .  I also serve as the Ironwood Area School District Representative and member of the IEP Team. Therefore, I am responsible for ensuring – at a local level – that the District is complying with the procedural and substantive requirements of the IDEA, and that students are receiving a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).
