ISP for Private School Students - Guiding Document

Hi Everyone,

I'm very excited to announce that a guiding document (click sheet) has been created for ISPs. It is located in the private school folder in the SLP google drive.

Please note the following new guidance on requirements for IEPs with an ISP:

Step 1:  Determine if student resides in RISD boundaries.

• For students who reside in RISD boundaries - complete step 2
  For students who do NOT reside in RISD boundaries - continue to step 3

Step 2:

• Review proposed IEP, ARD committee typically agrees with the IEP (check that ARD committee is in agreement) and team signs the IEP (if parent later decides to enroll student in RISD, this IEP can be implemented immediately).
• In minutes state:
• Parent is in agreement with proposed IEP, but declines to enroll their child in RISD. An ISP will be drafted.

Step 3:

• Review ISP to be drafted per following guidelines

NOTE:

• For students who reside in RISD:
• IEP and ISP should be drafted annually by the end of September
• For students who do NOT reside in RISD:
• ISP only should be drafted annually by the end of September
• IEP is drafted for ALL students (residing in or out of RISD boundaries) following initial or three-year re-evaluation.
• if we have evaluated a student because their private school is within RISD boundaries, but their home address is outside RISD boundaries, we MAY NOT disclose or share information with the district in which they reside WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT.

Thanks!
