Central Elementary principal highlights regional special education programming and IEP process
Summary
Principal Wiseman presented an overview of the district's Regional ASD and MICI programs, praised staff, and reviewed the IEP process and Least Restrictive Environment considerations at the March 23 board meeting.
At the March 23 Kenowa Hills Public Schools Board of Education meeting, Central Elementary Principal Wiseman provided an overview of the district's Regional Special Education Programming, including the ASD and MICI programs, and emphasized the district's process for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and placement decisions.
Wiseman praised teachers for their “unconditional empathy and positive regard for every learner every day” and highlighted the work of instructional coaches and interventionists in closing learning gaps between fall and winter benchmark assessments. Director Horner also recognized the Central Elementary kindergarten teachers and support staff for their contributions.
During the presentation Wiseman reviewed key procedural elements of special-education placement: the IEP process, considerations for Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) placements, and the importance of thorough documentation to ensure appropriate placements. The board did not take a formal vote on this item; it was presented for information.
The presentation provided the board with a status update on programming and staffing and underscored the district's emphasis on documentation and placement fidelity for students served through regional special education programs. Any follow-up tasks or data requests would be handled by the Office of Teaching & Learning.
