Yes I understand that having been part on an IEP team for many years My question is how many students does the district have to bus somewhere? If the IEP is for learning disabilities can we provide services here vs sending students out of district? If the IEP is for behavioral disabilities can the team develop an intensive care plan with the family to help the student manage his/her emotions and behaviors? Rather than have so many administrators especially in “communications “ can we have a more thorough IEP team or Special Education Team or Student Support Team?
The district self reported 66 outplaced students at the beginning of the year, which I know has fluctuated by now. I can imagine a lot of those parents would love to have their children be a part of their neighborhood school and community and not have to be in a cab 2 hours a day. But as it stands now, this district needs to do a lot of work on itself to make this a safe and functioning learning space for most of those kids. The district needs to invest in a ton of PD around neurodiversity, trauma, multiple learning disabilities, behavior as communication, etc. etc. Once a major effort is made to invest in overhauling these issues, less kids will need to be outplaced and could thrive in the district. But we can’t bring them back if there is no plan in place and no investment in creating appropriate spaces for them.

We agree on that. Of course the district would then have to hire a ton of consultants to tell them how to do it .
