ABOUT CORNERSTONES

Cornerstones is a Federal Setting IV special education program located at the Wright Technical Center in Buffalo, MN and managed by MAWSECO.

The program is designed to meet the needs of adolescents, grades 9-12 with emotional and/or behavioral special education needs that cannot be met within their home school district. In addition to academics, programming includes social-emotional learning classroom instruction with licensed professionals based on the individual student’s educational needs. Students are bussed by their local school district and attend school from 8:00 to 2:30 daily.

The students' IEP goals are the focus of learning. In addition, students learn skills to help students succeed and reintegrate into their home district. Programming may include services within the home school district, a work site, Wright Technical Center or a combination of options as appropriate for the student.
