Hello! Welcome to Campbell Savona's Special Education Department!  

My name is Melody DeCamp and I am the Director of Special Education at C-S. I have had the opportunity to serve students in Campbell-Savona for over 15 years! I began my career at C-S in 2006 as an elementary special education teacher. I continue to strive to provide our students with disabiltiies the best educational opportunities possible to meet their indiidual needs while preparing them for life in college or career pathways.  

Personally, I am from Lindley, NY and attended school in Corning Painted Post for my entire educational career. I then attended SUNY Cortland, SUNY Corning Community College, Mansfield University, and SUNY Brockport to earn the degrees which led to my NYS certifications in education. I am married and have two beautiful children, Kolston (9) and McKinley (7).  Both of my children attend Campbell-Savona Elementary School and have fallen in love with our school community.  Although we currently reside in Corning, NY, my husband and I have purchased land in Savona with hopes of building our family home within our magestic school district.  

My Role at C-S includes:

- Supervising our special education programs

- Oversee the implementation of all student IEPs and 504s in grades K-12

- Oversee the CPSE process for preschool students ages 3-5

- Facilitate professional development for teachers, faculty, and staff

- Support parents/guardians who have questions about our special education and 504 processes and procedures
