IEP procedural manual

Please make sure you pay attention to the email (1.12.12) from Theresa Golden on the 2012 updates to the Part B Special Education Procedural manual. The major changes in the release notes are highlighted so that you can easily review the information.

There is information about transitioning from early childhood to kindergarten. Some of the same concepts occur with the initial IEP being written at the end of the school year and amending the plan at the start of the new school year.

Remember our conversation at the department meeting about surrogate parent, foster parent, and defining "parent"? The procedures are spelled out in the release notes; take the time to read them and refer to them when in doubt.

Looking for some examples of how to word the prior written notice description of the action proposed or refused - they are within the document. Make it your responsibility to keep abreast of new information.
