CSDR

What is CSDR?

The California School for the Deaf, Riverside, is a component of the California Department of Education, Division of State Special Schools. The School serves 500 students from eleven counties in Southern California. The student body ranges from age 18 months through age 22 and reflects the diverse population of the region.

CSDR has earned a local, national, and international reputation for the quality of its instructional and residential programs and the breadth of its support services for deaf and hard of hearing students. Highly qualified staff provide deaf and hearing role models in the instructional and residential programs, and participate in an ongoing program of staff development.

The School provides an array of programs for parents and community members, including parent education classes, American Sign Language classes, Latino Family Retreat, and extensive outreach services.

History

On March 26, 1946, California assembly bill 75 was signed by Governor Earl Warren, future United States Supreme Court Chief Justice, authorizing appropriations to establish the Southern California School for the Deaf, later renamed the California School for the Deaf, Riverside

In 1977, Dr. Robert Lennan became the second school superintendent. One of the big changes during his era was the implementation of individualized education plan (IEP) as required by federal law.

In 2000, Dr. Rachel Stone, deaf since birth, became the fourth school chief and brought a number of changes including the increased respect to American Sign Language and opening up new opportunities for leadership among the deaf employees.

In 2006, Mal Grossinger was selected as the sixth superintendent of CSDR and remains in that position today. He is the second deaf superintendent to lead CSDR. Mr. Grossinger brings to the school over 25 years of experience in the field of deaf education. He is credited with bringing stability and unity back to the campus.
