CARE Team Process
|
|
|
| A student may
only be referred for special education services when all other options have
been tried or considered. (ie. Section 504, Dyslexia, Title Programs,
Bilingual/ESL, Gifted and Talented, etc.) A student must have
a qualifying disability and have an educational need to qualify for special
education services. The following process is required to refer a student for
a possible special education full independent evaluation. |
|
PRE-CARE TEAM Step |
 |
When a general education
teacher suspects a student is in need of intervention, they complete the
CARE CARD and submit to the principal. The principal will give feedback
and/or recommend referral to the CARE TEAM. |

Step 5 |
| Once all documentation has been submitted to the
principal, a pre-referral committee/intervention team meets to review the
data to determine if the student should be referred for a special
education evaluation. The team members must consist of:
 | The campus principal |
| Teacher (other than the teacher completing the
referral) |
| Another professional (counselor, teacher, etc.) |
|
| The team reviews the documentation and completes the
committee referral form. If the committee determines that the student
should be referred for a special education evaluation, then the principal
will submit all completed documentation to the campus diagnostician. The
60-day timeline to complete a Full Independent Evaluation begins.
