Secretary Evaluations - Evaluations Completed

Work Plan Mid-Year Updates

PR-01 - Parents requesting Evaluations emails etc. must have a meeting within 30 days to decide if there is a suspicion of a disability, the consent form is the only thing that starts the time clock, must do planning form to be informed consent, can do planning, referral and consent form at the IAT, have to have a PR-01 also as well as Whose IDEA. Whoever gets the email etc is responsible to make sure PR-01 goes out.

Department Meeting - Step 7 Envelope with a sample IEP for each IS - will take too much time and staff don't see their own errors. May show well written IEPs and compliment staff who wrote them Intervention Services, consultation, direct instruction, collaboration small group, 1:1 Use separate lines for different services 1 service may cover more than 1 goal even if different academic areas Resource room not IS room time = elementary minutes per week, middle and high school use periods Should FLex be an accommodation? - Don't discuss on Monday related service - minutes per week required to meet the goal, not up to AT - blended with regular ed, not a teaching tool, equipment, provider can be IEP Team Co-Writer on Neo2 may not be appropriate for middle and high school Text to Speech - if not available on line, needs to be scanned, may interfer with teaching of reading iPads, not wireless and may not work in many places, how do you keep them secure, $ for apps Accommodations - only to get FAPE, used on a regular basis e.g books on tape like a text book for non readers, data from MFE must idicate it is needed - FAPE verses helpful No human way a teacher can do a huge list of accommodations Can't say "when available" "if a student requests" - student can chose not to use it Modifications - being more honest Difference between a health plan and medical plan - document the existence of a plan and where it is and who is responsible, usually the nurse

1.Review Forms: Can we add "504" to the 504 referral form? May we add checklist to the 504 packet? Are copies to be filed at Burbank? 2. If a student has a disability but does not require a plando we file a document that specifies this? 3. Review use of PR-01 in case of 504s 4. Clarify which meetings are to do which functions for 504
 * Middle School:**
 * 504**
 * Add to Referral Form "504"**
 * If an evaluation has happened under IDEA and the student doesn't qualify, a team does not need to go back to the start of the process (i.e. referral) to consider 504 eligibility. However in that case the family must agree to #6 on the 504 Eligibility Form prior to looking at eligibility.**
 * Add 504 Eligibility Support Document to the packet of 504 documentation.**
 * 504 Eligibility Forms and Plans need to be filed with Intervention Services Office.**
 * 504 Prior Written Notices are provided to parents in the same way that they are provided under IDEA**
 * In house IAT, Parent IAT, evaluation/eligibility meeting, plan meeting (could be combined with the eligibility meeting)**
