IDEA Effective Instructional Practices Review
 
The New York State Education Department (NYSED) Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID) has initiated a Special Education Quality Assurance Review in the Geneva City School District during the 2006-2007 school year.  The purpose of this Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Effective Instructional Practices Focused Review is to assess our district’s compliance with selected Federal and State laws and regulations governing the education of students with disabilities as well as its ability to meet key performance indicators identified by NYSED.  A select group of individuals will participate in the Focused Review team lead by Karen Donahue, State Education Department Regional Associate, to examine our school’s data, interview teachers and parents, observe instructional practices, and explore systems that have been established to support students with disabilities. At the end of the Focused Review, a presentation to the School Board will highlight the findings, areas of strength, corrective action plans, and projected areas of improvement.  Please feel free to contact Erin Meehan-Fairben, the Director of PPS with any questions at 315-781-4127.
