Laura baker school: in 2016, we closed our private school and now lease that space to the cannon valley special education cooperative, the cvsec. Cvsec utilizes this space to provide schooling to children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This educational program is designed for children who are unable to thrive in a typical public school setting.
