The Governor Morehead School Outreach Program assists North Carolina's Local Education Agencies (LEAs) by serving visually impaired students enrolled in local schools. The Outreach Program is the result of a collaborative effort between the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction (NCSDPI) and the Governor Morehead School (GMS) to provide appropriate educational opportunities to each student with a visual impairment and support to services provides. The Outreach Program provides a flexible service delivery model designed to meet the needs of the student's school system and family members. Outreach staff travel to the school to provide services, assessments and staff training.
    Additionally, the Outreach Program offers Expanded Core Curriculum Short-Term sessions. These sessions are one week in length, held monthly on the campus of GMS, and serve academic students throughout NC who can benefit from a short period of intensive instruction in some area of the expanded core curriculum for students with visual impairments. Short-term teachers instruct students in disability-specific skills to facilitate success in the regular classroom and provide individualized instruction to meet specific learning needs of academic students. Referrals to short-term may come through the outreach teacher or through the local teacher of the visually impaired.
