The Parks School in Oakham has been fighting for survival after Rutland County Council announced it could be relocated to and even run by another school.
In a report to the meeting which will decide its future, council chief executive Helen Briggs suggests scrapping the idea of moving the school to the Big Build secondary school site at the Vale of Catmose College. Instead she recommends that the school be left where it is or become a school within a school, keeping its staff and governors.
Head Pia Kerridge welcomed the report. She said: "It was a timely and accurate representation of people's views and we would like to thank the elected members who have taken the time to visit the school.
"We feel there is a will to understand what the school does."
Ms Kerridge will be among nine people who speak at Monday night's council meeting.
Staff and parents will also speak, as well as Brooke Hill Primary School head Sharon Milner and the grandparent of a former Parks School pupil. And there will be case studies documenting pupils' success stories.
Then on Monday, October 20 councillors will discuss their views and Mrs Briggs' report at a special meeting on the school's future.
Ms Kerridge said: "We need to bring this to life for the councillors.
"The staff and governors at The Parks have been overwhelmed by the support we have had from all sections of the community both in letters and comments at consultation meetings and we really want to thank people for the interest they have shown and in the school and its future."
Ms Kerridge is hoping the school will be given time to go away and look in more detail at the two options.
She said: "We don't want to be a diluted form of what we are doing now.
"We want to retain our extended services including the family centre and outreach support. Ideally what we would like to do is offer provision to a wider group of pupils."
More preparation work will be carried out once a decision is made on the next step for the school and progress reports will be made to the council early next year.
Monday's public meeting at the council chamber begins at 7pm.
