Is it still true that once a student begins the SPED process, they are protected under IDEA in regards to suspension? Is it possible to flag students somehow in eSchool when they have entered the process?

with the new parent consent requirement, are we able to restrain a child when school starts if it is on his BIP or do we need to hold a meeting day one to get consent?

How can we make the accountability more structured for our SPED teachers? Related service providers are required to keep logs. Why not SPED teachers? There is a disconnect on the accountability.

Are there any good processes in place to support special ed. teachers completing these progress reports? Any good data collection forms? Our teachers have felt that they are doing the special ed. teacher's work by providing the data. How are other special ed. teachers collecting it?

I have worked at three schools with amazing SPED staff and have worked wtih general education staff to understand co-teaching.
At AL/IL  we need schools whose data is well reflected or has a good process to share ideas to manage all of the difficulties that are being shared on this page.

Can we work on consolidating staff? We have 2 partial SLPs, one that is only with us .2 This is difficult to utilize. If our .6 and .2 were combined it would be much more useful.

Can we please get an abbreviated version of the Blue Folder Audit that Admin can use to check for red flags and most important information. The 3 page version is too much for this purpose.

Should we no longer project the notes and Prior Written Notice on a screen for IEP members to view during a meeting? If it is projected does this constitute as the start of the 48 hour notice?

# data[].attributes.body
Is it possible to e-mail department chairs letting them know, "I am pulling data for staffing on [date].  Make sure all your IEPs are closed on that day."   Even though our case managers will close those IEPs quickly, depending on the day of an IEP meeting, it's very likely that a few IEPs are open legitimately.

# data[].attributes.body
Was the data for determining if IEPs were closed after annual meetings the same document that was sent out for us to sign? If so, then we need to correct the report to show annual dates, not the latest IEP changes. When we have progress meetings or other important meetings, this date appears on the form, not the annual.

# data[].attributes.body
What is going to be done to help make the caseload numbers be correct in the staffing process this year? Last year, any IEP that was open (even legitimately) was not counted. How can we prevent this problem for SY18?

For the 5 day notice, should testing be sent home for parent review 5 days before the meeting as well?  Posing this question due to issues I have had with staff waiting until the IEP meeting to share the testing.

Our STAR schools could really use help with an easier or more streamlined process. Our SPED teachers continue to tell us that they struggle keeping up with this along with their other responsibilities. Thank you for thoughts and we are happy to spend time helping with solution or spending funds on something to help our staff.
