Overview
School-Wide Teacher Assistance Teams
IEP Review
Initial Placement
You may bring anyone you would like to any meeting with your child’s IEP team. IEP teams are required to consider the information provided by any outside source.
Least Restrictive Environment
Students with disabilities who require special classes or separate schooling are placed in those environments only if the nature and severity of their disability is such that education in general classes with supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily.
Permission to Evaluate
If an evaluation of your child is necessary, you will be asked to sign a Permission to Evaluate form at a Child Study Team (CST) meeting. During an evaluation, various testing and evaluation techniques will be used.
Transportation
Through the IEP process, your child may qualify for special transportation. Crane Schools offer transportation accommodations for children who are in wheel chairs or are non-ambulatory.
Extended School Year
ESY services are provided to a student when the educational benefits gained during the regular school year are significantly jeopardized by a break in service. ESY is necessary to enable a student to benefit from instruction received during the regular school year when the lack of ESY services would thwart the goal of maintaining the meaningful progress gained during the regular school year.
ESY services are a result of an individual determination of the IEP team and focus on critical skills and are not based upon a category of disability. While the need for ESY services is the exception rather than the rule, it is the responsibility of the IEP team to consider the need for ESY for every student.
