Summary
Dr. Beth Harmon presented the annual special education plan and the Part B flow-through grant application, confirming the division will meet federal IDEA and Virginia Board of Education requirements and will bring the comprehensive plan to the board for consent at the April meeting.
Dr. Beth Harmon presented the Roanoke County special education annual plan and the Division's Part B flow-through grant application, telling the board the document provides assurances that the division will meet the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Virginia Board of Education regulations during the grant award period.
"In your documents is the annual presentation of the special education plan for Part B flow through grant application," Dr. Harmon said, noting the plan outlines local policies and procedures to ensure compliance with IDEA and Virginia implementing regulations. She said the packet includes documentation of fiscal responsibilities, maintenance of effort, and proportionate set-asides for parentally placed private school students.
Dr. Harmon said the division provided projected spending for IDEA Part B (sections 611 and 619) and that the comprehensive document would be forwarded for board consent at the April meeting. "Do you have any questions?" she asked; the Chair and board members offered brief thanks and no substantive questions at the work session.
The presentation formally puts the division on record as certifying compliance with federal and state special education regulations and prepares the division to accept and appropriate any awarded Part B funds after board consent.
