(The following information is taken from Reference Guide 1888.1)

Purpose: The purpose of this Reference Guide is to inform district personnel of the distribution of the revised Special Education Policies and Procedures Manual (July 2007) and to announce school staff training regarding the manual’s organization and content.

Major Changes: The Special Education Policies and Procedures Manual (July 2007) replaces the Special Education Policies and Procedures Manual (July 2005).

Background: The Special Education Policies and Procedures Manual describes the district special education policies and implementing procedures. It also serves as a reference tool for school administrators, teachers, and special education itinerant and support staff for additional information to support compliant special education services and supports.

Instructions: Two copies of the Manual will be mailed to each school at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year, for both year-round and traditional calendar sites. School site administrators are requested to order additional copies at no cost from the Stores Warehouse using the commodity code 966 121 8565 so that each special education teacher and all school administrators are provided a copy. Additional copies should be ordered to ensure that general education teachers also have access to the Manual.

Viewing the training: You must be using a computer with a current copy of Internet Explorer or Safari (for Macs) as the browser, have Adobe Flash Player, speakers installed and powered on.
