SPED Procedure Workday - 3rd times the CHARM!

The NDE Office of Special Education is asking districts to submit updated special education procedures at the district level by March 31, 2023 through their district's ILCD 3.0 application in the NDE portal.  The last time this was done was August 2010 when district's were required to have their school boards adopt new and updated special education policies and procedures.  NDE is not asking local school boards to adopt new policies (you can, but don't have to) at this time, just district staff to update their procedures document.

John Hanson, ESU 15 SPED Director, will facilitate the workday.  There will be time for district teams to discuss how they do things currently, and see if what they have written on paper currently needs to be changed to reflect their current procedures.  Target is  to get done this day, but may not.  There will only be one workday at the ESU though, so you will need to finish on your own, but John Hanson can schedule a time to come up to your district to help you finish if needed.

Attached guidance documents from NDE in an email dated October 27th, your own local special education policies and procedures (the procedures are in the box on the various pages), and a save the date flier.  Please don't mind the reference to "McCook" on all of the lines on your local sped policies and procedures document, every ESU 15 district is the same, I just didn't feel like changing this document 8 times to include your specific district name.  If you are needing the attachments again please contact John Hanson or email Laurie at ESU 15 (Trenton) for a copy
