4 COMPREHENSIVE SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES Special Education Opportunities Students with disabilities and their parents are advised and informed of the special education opportunities in St. Joseph County Intermediate School District (SJCISD) through the Special Education Parent Handbook. This is utilized as a means of communicating a list of organizations, special education representatives, and procedural safeguards for parents of children suspected of and/or are identified as requiring special education services. This handbook outlines for parents and other members of the community the special education opportunities, services and obligations of the school districts in SJCISD. The Handbooks are distributed by the special education staff from the ISD and the local districts. A list of school district representatives who can be contacted for information regarding special education programs and services is in Appendix A. Public Awareness The public is made aware of the availability of special education programs and services through the distribution of Project Find materials and outreach activities. The materials are given to various agencies throughout SJCISD by the Early On and Project Find coordinators. In addition, SJCISD and the local districts share information with parents of students of all eligible ages within the districts as needed. This is done through the referral process. SJCISD staff may promote public awareness by establishing cooperative links with other agencies and professionals who may be potential referral sources. Types of Diagnostic & Related Services The chart (Appendix B) describes the type and amount of diagnostic services that are directly available within the ISD and those purchased or contracted for from outside the ISD. Local school districts will not provide ancillary diagnostic services except in cases where the SJCISD does not provide them. When necessary, additional diagnostic services will be provided through the SJCISD on a contracted basis. Projections of needed services will be based on data from previous years. Statement of Assurance - SJCISD assures that copies of contracts or service agreements [per Section (1)(b) of the School Code] are on file at the ISD and available for review. 3
5 Continuum of Special Education Programs and Services SJCISD and the local school districts have a continuum of special education programs and services that can best be defined by the St. Joseph County ISD Levels of Special Education Services Chart (Appendix C). This operational plan follows the criteria and complies with R Rule 132 (1). Services begin at Level 1 with support to the special education student in general education programs and progresses through the levels to Level 5 with total instruction in a special education program. The SJCISD Levels of Special Education Services Chart reflects the types of programming that a student may need as determined at an IEP. The student s placement would be based on need and type of service rather than defined by the disability or eligibility. Programs for Students with Autism St. Joseph County ISD assures that programs and services provided for students with autism under R (1)(e) meet the following criteria: Teachers of students with autism will have the opportunity for in-service education in these areas: Syndrome of autism, including its etiology. Child development (language, communication, cognition). Behavioral management techniques. Systematic curriculum development (personal adjustment and pre-vocational). Home/school interactions. Family and community support services. A specialist knowledgeable regarding autism and programming for students with autism will be available to the teacher and support staff to assist in meeting the unique individual needs of the student. Ancillary and related service providers who are responsible for the delivery of services to students with autism will receive in-service education relating to the service they provide. The IEPT will describe its consideration of the ability of the student with autism to function in the program when considering class size and student/staff ratio. Progress Reports for Homebound and Hospitalized Students Parents of special education students who are receiving homebound/hospitalized services will be given progress reports on annual goals as frequently as parents of non-disabled students receive progress reports. 4
6 MANAGEMENT OF SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES Special Education Administrators Appendix D lists the special education administrators for the ISD and the local districts. Appendix A lists the local district administrators who are responsible for their district s implementation of special education. The Director of Special Education may be employed or contracted provide administrative support to the preschool early intervention program up to 20% of the time. The salary of the director will be prorated according to the division of time. The multi-agency early childhood program has as one of its primary components the reduction of special education. The Director of Special Education is in the most appropriate position to oversee this program at SJCISD. The funding support for this position from this program is not inappropriate since the director is the liaison to special education services and the goal is to reduce the numbers of students requiring special education services. Paraprofessional Personnel Paraprofessionals employed by SJCISD or its local school districts will possess a high school diploma or its equivalent and meet any other requirement specified in law or rule as determined appropriate by the administraton. Transportation Students will be provided with regular transportation whenever possible. The IEP will determine the need for additional or special transportation and local school districts are responsible for regular and special transportation. The districts work cooperatively with each other and the ISD to provide transportation throughout the county. Contractual agreements are on file as appropriate. 5
7 Distribution of Funds Federal Funds: Flowthrough, EOSD, Preschool Incentive and Transition federal funds are used by SJCISD to support program staff which include, but is not limited to, the following: Level 5 programs, Early Childhood Special Education program, Teacher Consultant services, Physical Education, Community Classroom/Transition and administration. If additional funds are available, each district will be given a share proportional to the total number of students in its general membership count relative to the total general membership count of all constituent districts, based on the audited count from the previous school year. FUNDS Flowthrough EOSD Transition Preschool Incentive STAFF Consultants, teachers or assistants for (not limited to) Level 5, EC, HI, VI, PE, Co-ordination of monitoring and compliance Community Classrooms Coordinators/Transition Specialists Early Childhood Services ISD Millage: ISD millage is used by SJCISD to support staff and administration at the ISD that provide direct and indirect services to local district students. Special education revenue available after these costs are covered will be distributed in accordance with R with the following modifications: Each district will be given a share proportional to the total number of students in its membership count relative to the total membership count of all constituent districts, based upon the audited count from the previous school year. No district s share will exceed 100% of the unreimbursed added special education costs from the previous school year. Local administrative and secretarial costs are excluded. Distribution of funds will be reviewed by the St. Joseph County ISD Administrator s Association. No funds will be appropriated for services or programs for non-isd resident students. 6
8 Parent Advisory Committee Philosophy: The basic philosophy of the Parent Advisory Committee begins with the premise that every child is special and that every child brings a unique set of educational needs to school every day, and that parents must have a participant role in the educational process of their child. Membership Selection: The members of the ISD Special Education Parent Advisory Committee are nominated by each local district Board of Education and are appointed by the Intermediate School District Board. The members must be parents/guardians of a student receiving special education programs or services provided by the local school district or ISD. The ISD will make every attempt to assure that the membership is comprised of a representative of each impairment category and every local school district. The ISD Board will appoint members for a two-year term. Role and Responsibility of the Parent Advisory Committee The PAC responsibilities include the following duties: cooperate in the development and review of the SJCISD Plan, help assess the needs of students with disabilities, assist parents with special education laws and procedures, assist in evaluating the special education programs and services within the ISD, cooperate with the ISD in conducting in-service programs for parents regarding special education programs and services, and review budgets. The PAC chairperson signs the ISD Plan to indicate involvement in the development of the Plan. The Parent Advisory Committee may file an objection to the ISD Plan in accordance with procedures in the Michigan rules. Fiscal and Staff Resources Available to the Parent Advisory Committee A special education administrator will act as the PAC liaison. A representative(s) of the special education administrators will attend PAC meetings and activities. Staff and secretarial support are available on a reasonable basis. The PAC activities are partially supported in the ISD budget. These include postage, duplication of minutes and materials, mileage and conference expenses, which have prior approval by the Director of Special Education, in-service activity materials and mileage for attending PAC meetings. Surrogate Parent Plan The ISD and the LEAs will follow the State Board of Education (SBE) approved Policy for the Appointment of Surrogate Parents. A pool of potential surrogate parents will be developed through the PAC when the need arises. Appropriate training may be provided to the surrogate parents as necessary. 7
