We are requesting that you refer individuals under the age of twenty-one, including children attending private schools, who are in need of special education and related services to the Child Find Person. Once a referral is made, it is the responsibility of the Child Find Person to insure that the child/student’s case is referred to the Teacher Support Team (TST) for the appropriate building.
Upon the Teacher Support Team’s recommendation a student is referred to the District Local Survey Committee (LSC) for a comprehensive evaluation, parents are notified. This begins the referral-to-placement process for special education services. Parents must sign consent for an evaluation.
When a student, age 3 through 20, is determined eligible to receive special education services, parents are notified. Before the student receives special education services, and Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is developed for the student and parents must sign consent for placement. Parents, teachers, and students, when appropriate, participate in this process. All students receiving special education services are reevaluated at least every three years and their IEP’s are reviewed/revised at least annually.
