- IDEA monitoring: SEAP will discuss LDOE's plan for monitoring school systems for special education services and performance.
- Update on policy for students assessed on LAA 1:
- LDOE requested for the USDOE to accept counting diplomas earned by students on LAA-1 in the school accountability index.
-
- In April, LDOE released a power point indicating how students on LAA-1 entering high school in 2015-16 may earn a Career Diploma. Advocates are uncertain how the LDOE press release on June 30, 2015 claims, "These students (assessed on LAA-1) are also not covered by the recently created Act 833..."
- The Deaf Child Bill of Rights: Click Here to read Act 250 of the 2015 Legislative session.
- LEA Determinations - Each year the LDOE makes determinations of how well each school system met performance targets on certain indicators relative to special education. SEAP will offer feedback on the indicators and criteria to use in making determinations of school systems for next school year.
