Student services director outlines IEP counts, 504 plans and upcoming reviews
Summary
The student-services presenter reported pre-K enrollment of 29, about 24 students on 504 plans, approximately 75 students on IEPs, a classification rate near 19%, and preparation for indicator 8 and annual IEP reviews starting in February.
A student-services presenter briefed the board on caseloads and program metrics: 29 pre-K students, roughly 24 students on 504 plans, and about 75 students with individualized education programs (IEPs). "Right now, we're at 19%" was the presenter's description of the district classification rate, and they noted that a five-year average is used to track trends.
The presenter said the district is preparing for indicator 8 — which measures parental involvement in special-education services — and will conduct annual review meetings for IEPs starting in February; about 75 annual review meetings were anticipated. The presentation described a co-teaching model in elementary classrooms (two teachers in the room) and use of the Amplify curriculum for elementary reading and ELA instruction. On questions about one-on-one reading intervention, the presenter said that 1:1 support can be provided when specified on an IEP but that exact counts for students with a specific reading program were "not specified" in the meeting.
Board members asked follow-up questions about how the co-teaching model handles intensive needs and how reading interventions are scheduled; the presenter described pull-out resource-room options and a continuum of services including aides and partnered programs at CVS/BOCES.
