When the student moves, what goes with him/her? Will the new district have to review a great deal of material?
New language in the proposed IDEA regulations places a responsibility on both a sending and a receiving district to coordinate the sharing of information on a student who is moving, in order to ensure continuous and timely support. It is important as interventions and progress monitoring are provided for a student that staff maintain a summary that gives a brief overview of the key information. This will help new people joining the Circle of Support learn quickly about what’s already happened for this student, as well as provide an overview of the progression and relationship of successive interventions provided. The Personal Literacy Plan (PLP) guidance of June 2005 provides an example of a form for keeping such a summary.
