Linguistic Exchange Dordogne France

I am an English teacher at Collège La Boetie in Sarlat-la-Caneda in France, which is the largest collège in the Dordogne. Our principal is extremely motivated to organise a week's linguistic exchange with a school in New York and a week with a school in Charlotte North Carolina in the spring of 2016. The class that has been selected is a class of sixteen students from the SEGPA section of our school. They will be the equivalent of Grade 7 in 2016. These children are all subject to long term and serious learning difficulties. The principal aim of the SEGPA section is to assist the students who are unable to achieve the standard attainment targets to prepare to leave school with a concrete possibility of acquiring a job. In their last year at collège (at the age of 14-15) they have the opportunity to take part in doing work experience in the local area, primarily in the catering and building trades. Can anyone direct us towards finding a school willing to enter into such an exchange with us? Any advise would be much appreciated.
