Superintendent’s Report 2016-17 Draft Regional Calendar
Superintendent’s Report Registration Board Education Law 16:12 states: “ In districts where the voters have approved registration during specified hours of the school day at the office of the district clerk, assistant clerk or the district’s business office, the school board may abolish the board of registration.
Superintendent’s Report Registration Board This amendment would exclude school districts with continuous registration from having to establish a board of registration and a separate voter registration day, as currently outlined in Education Law. The amendment would allow these districts to save funds that are usually allocated to create a board of registration and staff a separate voter registration day. Some school districts permit residents to register at the district’s business office on any given school day. The residents of these school districts have ample opportunity to register and there is no need for their boards of registration to incur the cost of holding a separate meeting solely for the purpose of registering voters.”
Superintendent’s Report Registration Board ● The number of voters who have come to register at the meeting of the registration board in the past five years is 0. ● The district has historically relied on a list produced by the Oneida County Board of Elections to verify voter registration at the time of the vote. ● The Oneida County Board of Elections is producing our poll books which contain the name, address and signature of all district eligible voters. ● Eligible voters whose information does not appear in the poll book can vote by affidavit. Recommendation: eliminate the Registration Board
Special Education District Plan Ms. Kathy Fonda Director of Pupil Personnel Service and Instruction
Agenda ❖ Background/Purpose ❖ Highlights ➢ Continuum of Services ➢ Out of District Placements ➢ In District Placements ➢ Staffing ➢ Preschool ➢ Related Services ❖ Challenges ❖ Bright Spots ❖ Questions
Background/Purpose ● New York State Education Department (Part 200)requires that every district create and have available for review a Special Education Plan. The plan has to include the following: ● ● Continuum of services ● Outside District Placements ● Enrollment Review Census ● ● Special Education Staff ● Space Plan ● Committee on Special Education Preschool Special Education ● ● Committee on Preschool Special Education 21
Continuum of Services
Out of District Placements ● 20 school age students attend the various Out of District programs as their needs require more restriction than we can provide in district. ● 1 student attends a Behavioral Program at Sauquoit Valley Central School District. ● Currently we have 14 students in OHM BOCES Special Education Programs and 1 student in a MO BOCES Special Education Program. ● 5 students attend Special Education Programs at either The House of the Good Shepherd or Upstate Cerebral Palsy.
District Options for Special Education ● Currently we offer various levels of support/instruction throughout the District Most Restrictive----->Least Restricitve ● Full day Special Education classroom with aide support for specials, lunch and recess ( Elementary only) ● Partial placement in Special Education Class for academic and behavioral instruction/support (Elementary only) ● Special Education services in Resource Room ● Direct Consultant ● Indirect Consultant ● Related Services
Staffing ❖ We have 10 certified Special Education teachers throughout the district. ❖ The Special Education Teachers provide: ➢ Academic, behavior and social/emotional support for the 111 in district classified students. ➢ Act as the Case Manager for the 48 students with 504 plans. ➢ Collect data needed for the monitoring of student IEPs ➢ Supervise Teaching Assistants and Aides assigned to students on their caseloads per IEPs.
Preschool Special Education Services ❖ Parents can make referrals at no cost to them or the District. (County funded) ❖ Preschoolers with a Disability have access to the continuum of services through contracting agencies and providers. ❖ Oneida BOCES Preschool Coordinator coordinates all steps ( initial evaluations, reevaluations, CPSE meetings, providers, IEP development). ❖ Currently we have 9 identified preschoolers. ❖ 3 identified preschoolers are eligible for Kindergarten in 2015-2016.
Related Services ❖ Related Services are through the review of evaluations and progress toward IEP goals. ❖ Related Services include Speech, OT,PT, Teacher of the Blind and V.I., Counseling, Audiology, and 1:1 Assistance. ❖ We bill Medicaid for Speech, OT and PT. Medicaid eligibility is based on free and reduced lunch with parent permission.
Challenges ❖ Creating programs and services within our district with limited or no costs to the district. ❖ Ensuring that classified students are getting their individual academic needs met while still having access to the Common Core Standards. ❖ Providing access to general education courses while still meeting students’ IEPs. ❖ Transition Planning for life after high school.
Bright Spots ❖ Response to Intervention is providing supports to students before evaluations and classification is needed. ❖ As is recommended, our percentage of students with special needs/IEPs is under 10% of the total student enrollment. ❖ For 2014-2015, we had 14 students graduate. Two students received the NYSAA and 12 with either a Local or a Regents Diploma. ❖ Our entire faculty and staff are dedicated and committed to meeting students’ need in the least restrictive setting possible.
