SE 7 Transfer of parental rights at age of majority and student
Partially Implemented
participation and consent at the age of majority
Department CPR Findings:
A review of student records and interviews with staff members indicated the district does
not consistently inform the student and the parent/guardian one year prior that the
educational decision making rights will transfer from the parent/guardian to the student
upon the student's 18th birthday. Further, it was evident that the school district does not
implement procedures to obtain consent from the student upon reaching the age of 18 to
continue the student´s special education program.
Description of Corrective Action:
1. The district will develop and implement a form in triplicate to be used at the last IEP for
a student before he/she turns 17 to inform parents/guardians and the student about the
transfer of rights at the age of majority. This form will contain signatures obtained from
the parent/guardian, Team members, and the student. A signed copy will be given to the
parent/guardian and the student and one will be placed in the student's file. The signed
copy will also be scanned into the student's electronic file.
2. The student's liaison will present the student with a district-created duplicate form that
indicates the student's consent or refusal to continue special education services within the
first 5 school working days after the student turns 18. The student will be given a copy of
the form. This form will be scanned into the student's electronic record.
3. The district will tag the electronic records of each student at the time of the above
meeting to ensure that the students' consent for and IEPs will go to them for signature
instead of to their parents/guardians unless the district receives court papers indicating
that the parent/guardian has retained rights.
4. The director will provide training to the appropriate Team Leader, liaisons, and central
office staff on the new processes. This training will take place no later than January 31,
2013.
The district will document the discussion in the "additional information" section of the IEP.

SE 18A IEP development and content
Partially Implemented
Department CPR Findings:
A review of student records and interviews with staff members demonstrated that
whenever the IEP Team evaluation indicates that a student's disability affects social skills
development, or when the student's disability makes him or her vulnerable to bullying,
harassment, or teasing, the IEP Team does not address the skills and proficiencies needed
to avoid and respond to bullying, harassment, or teasing when warranted. Additionally,
for students identified with a disability on the autism spectrum, the IEP Team does not
consider and specifically address the skills and proficiencies needed to avoid and respond
to bullying, harassment, or teasing.
Description of Corrective Action:
1. The district will develop and implement a duplicate form to document the Team
discussion regarding the effect of the student's disability on his/her social skill
development and on his/her vulnerability to bullying, harassment, or teasing. This form
will be signed by the parent/guardian and Team members at the meeting and a copy will
be given to the parent/guardian. A copy will be placed in the student's record and will
also be scanned into his/her electronic record.
2. The district will develop and implement a separate duplicate form to document the
Team discussion for students on the spectrum. This form will document what the district
will do to specifically address the skills and proficiencies needed for this student in order
to avoid and respond to bullying, harassment, or teasing if determined necessary by the
Team. This form will be signed by the parent/guardian and Team members at the
meeting and a copy will be given to the parent/guardian. A copy will be placed in the
student's record and will also be scanned into his/her electronic record.
3. The director will provide a training for the Team Leaders and the district's
Autism/Behavior Specialist on the use of the form and the discussions at the Team
meetings no later than January 31, 2013.

SE 22 IEP implementation and availability
Partially Implemented
Department CPR Findings:
A review of district documentation and interviews with staff members indicated that the
district does not have a procedure in place to consistently inform general education
teachers of their specific responsibilities related to IEP implementation, resulting in some
general education teachers not providing accommodations, modification and supports for
special education students. A review of student records and interviews with staff
members also demonstrated that in situations where there has been a lack of special
education personnel, the district does not consistently inform parents in writing of any
delayed services, reasons for delay, actions that the school district was taking to address
the lack of personnel and did not offer alternative methods to meet the goals on the
accepted IEP.
Description of Corrective Action:
1. The district uses a web-based system to create and maintain special education records
for each student. This system includes a communication system that allows all staff to
receive messages on their students through a secure system.
2. A staff member from the Office of Student Services will use this system to notify each
teacher of the availability of a student's plan, IEP meetings, etc.
3. All notification swill be sent to the appropriate staff prior to the start of the school year
and notices will be sent each time a new IEP has been signed.
4. The district will provide on-line training for staff in the use of the system and the
technology department will be available for individuals who need additional assistance.
5. The director will provide annual training for all staff on their specific responsibilities
related to IEP implementation.
6. The district will develop and implement letters to inform parents of possible delays in
service, the reasons for those delays, and the action that the district is taking, as well as
the possibility of compensatory services.
