APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENTS TO THE COMMITTEE ON SPECIAL EDUCATION
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Public Law 94-142, Section 4402 of the New York State Education Law and New York State Commissioner's Regulations 200.3 require that the Board of Education appoint a Committee on Special Education. The Board of Education may also appoint one or more sub-committees to assist the Committee on Special Education in determining the needs of each disabled child in the district and to recommend to the Board of Education the appropriate educational services and programs to meet the child's needs.
The law also requires the inclusion of six (6) members to participate with the Committee on Special Education. Those participating members are as follows: a teacher of special education or an administrator; a general education teacher knowledgeable of District curriculum; a school psychologist; a school physician, when requested; the parent of a disabled child not employed by or under contract with the school district; and a certified teacher designated by the principal as the teacher of the child being reviewed by the Committee on Special Education.
