Policies and Procedures
Make sure your special education staff and district administrators
have federal and state rules available- write out each rule in a
simple format and go over it with your staff
Use these rules to devise procedures for your district; these
should include step by step instructions for who (is responsible),
what (needs to be completed), when (items are due), and where
(location in which steps will be followed…school, district office,
etc...
Procedures must be written or it will do no good to have them.
You may give write information in the following ways: give out
hard copies, keep on your district’s webpage, give to staff on a
travel drive,
Training
Training to be complete needs to be identified. These need to
correspond to each of the compliance procedures that are
written.
Complete who, what, when and where of training
Will you have to provide for substitutes or money for other items?
Is your plan written in your district’s staff development plan?
Has this been approved by your superintendent?
Have you as a director studied up on these various components of
the policies and are you able to provide the in-service yourself or
do you folks that you can assign to different parts?
