Title
AMENDMENTS TO THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE PROVISION OF SPECIALLY DESIGNED INSTRUCTION AND RELATED SERVICES FOR EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS FOR THE 2007-08 SCHOOL YEAR
Description
Each school district in Florida is required to submit its Policies and Procedures for the Provision of Specially Designed Instruction and Related Services for Exceptional Students to the Florida Department of Education. The current procedures in effect are for the 2004-05 through the 2006-07 school years and would ordinarily be due for three year revision at this time. Because Florida is in the process of revising its State Board of Education Rules to come into compliance with the provisions of IDEA 2004, FDOE has extended the current rules through the 2007-08 school year with the stipulation that each district adopt required amendments to ensure compliance with IDEA 2004. Since the amendments themselves are 50 pages in length and are not subject to revision at the district level, only the approval form and the letter of explanation is included as an attachment.
Recommendation
That the amendments to the Policies and Procedures for the Provision of Specially Designed Instruction and Related Services for Exceptional Students for the 2007-08 school year, be approved as presented.
