Prior Written Notices

Our Children • Learning Today • Leading Tomorrow

Pasadena Unified School District is committed to servicing our students to the greatest extent possible given school closure challenges. SB 98, recently enacted as emergency legislation requiring school districts to address how they will implement various IEP components under “emergency conditions.” A prior Written Notice will be sent out to each Special Education student because we know that school closures will be for more than 10 days.

*PWN 3-30-2020

IEPs during Emergency Conditions

Our Children • Learning Today • Leading Tomorrow

IEPs

• Virtual meetings
• Electronic signature function
• Initial evaluations-PUSD is continuously collaborating with

entities regarding evaluation methods in order to address child find responsibilities.

• Many Triennial evaluations cannot be completed
• Some Triennials can be completed through a “Record Review.”

The district and the parents must be in agreement.

Safety First

Our Children • Learning Today • Leading Tomorrow

Safety is PRIORITY. We will continue to work diligently with all agencies to return to school as soon as we are allowed. We have developed plans so that we can maintain social distance and wear all the PPE in the event conditions change.
