District staff report Morphology Plus (Orton-Gillingham) training and plan for district-specific special education manual
Summary
A district staff member reported attending a Morphology Plus literacy training using the Orton-Gillingham Learning System and said they will draft a district-specific special education manual to provide operational guidance and ensure compliance with state and federal requirements.
A district staff member reported attending a Morphology Plus literacy training described as using the Orton-Gillingham Learning System and said the session included participants from Allen County, Bighorn 1 and Park 6.
The presenter described the Orton-Gillingham–based approach as evidence-based and said the training reinforced practices the district has pursued to improve literacy. The staff member said they plan to write a district-specific special education manual over the coming school year to provide operational guidance and transparency for stakeholders and to ensure compliance with state, federal and district policies.
The speaker described the manual as a "big burdensome document" with legal components that must align with applicable guidelines. Another speaker briefly noted access issues to a document during the discussion but the transcript does not record the manual's release timeline, its review process, or staffing and resource implications for drafting it.
No formal board action or vote on adoption of the manual or on training-related expenditures was recorded in the meeting transcript.
