EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The three-year cycle for the SP&P document currently in effect in our school district expired at the end of the 2006/2007 school year. Due to anticipated changes resulting from the rule development process, the DOE has determined that a one-year extension of the existing document, with specific amendments to ensure alignment with all federal and state laws, regulations, and rules, is the most effective way to meet all requirements in a timely manner.
The amendments, delineated in the attached revised document authored by DOE, address section 1003.57(1)(d), Florida Statutes, which requires that district school boards submit to the DOE proposed procedures for the provision of special instruction and services for exceptional students once every three years. This document also serves as the basis for the identification, evaluation, eligibility determination, and placement of students in special programs for exceptional students, and is a component of our district’s application for supplemental student funds available under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
