To:Â Michael GreenRe:Â December Monthly Special Services ReportFrom:Â Deb KernenDate:Â December 13, 2010
This has been a busy month in the special education department. I have submitted two major requirements, due in December, to OSPI that have translated into many hours of time by our special education staff. I completed the yearly grant that has extensive narrative about our performance data that includes the following areas: secondary transition, suspension/expulsion, least restrictive environment and disproportionality. Staff reviewed our state performance data and completed narratives to address what we will do to improve these areas. We also submitted 3 safety net applications requesting a total of $14, 337 additional funding to support our high cost students. We will know if we are awarded the dollars mid-February.Â
