Those of you who are back to work already may have noticed a change to the Meeting Invites section of the Sped Database.
We have gotten rid of the “Name” fields in the database, and are requiring only the positions of those invited to the meeting. This will hopefully help to eliminate situations where case managers must excuse staff members who were invited to a meeting, but unable to attend and subsequently send a counterpart in their place (ex. principals and vice principals).
This does not eliminate the need to excuse members who were not able to attend, and no one else attended to fill that role.
Please remember that Administrators, GenEd Teachers, and SpEd teachers CANNOT be excused from an IEP or ESER meeting.
