“So our agenda for this session is to talk about the temporary learning plan, talk about the extension of eligibility timelines, talk about special education meetings during this time of school closures. We'll talk some about instruction and staff expectations as well.
“First of all, we are not amending all IEPs or 504 plans, either in Sea Stars or on paper. Instead, teachers will be required to develop a temporary learning plan for each student on their caseload, um, so that we can outline the services that will be provided during the school closure. If you look at this graphic, it explains a little bit about what we're looking at. In terms of plans for students. All students will receive this temporary learning plan, and some students may need an addendum without a meeting or an updated 504 plan to address something specific. Few students may need telephone conference to address initial or annual IEP's or 504 plans or local screening, eligibility, evaluations, 504 qualifications and transfers. And then the least number of students would need a meeting via blackboard collaborate, which is this platform.”
