Many school districts do not have sufficient information on their website to inform parents and guardians of their rights under federal and state laws to have their children assessed to determine whether they are entitled to special education services. Response: Partially Agree At the time the Grand Jury Report, To Learn or Not to Learn: Are Children with Learning Differences Set Up for Success?, was released, the Nicasio School District did not have information about special education available on their website. With that said, there are currently no statutes, federal or state, that require school districts to post information on their website to inform parents/guardians of their rights under federal and/or state laws related to having their children assessed to determine special education eligibility. Although the Nicasio School District website does serve an important function related to generalized one-way communication with our school community, the Nicasio School District elects to communicate with families regarding the federal and state laws concerning special education in many other ways, such as in-person meetings, phone calls, student study teams meetings, and Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, etc.

Each school district should develop and implement targeted communication strategies tailored to all parents and guardians regarding their student's rights concerning learning differences. Response: The recommendation has been implemented This recommendation has been implemented. The Nicasio School District is currently using a variety of targeted communication methods with parents/guardians, including emails, website postings, phone calls, and in-person conferences.

Each school district should have information on its website describing the services available for students with learning differences. Response: Partially Agree All parents/guardians should know what services are available to students with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This is first accomplished by the Marin County Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) developing and adopting an annual special education service plan consistent with California Education Code 5620S(b)(2). The plan (see attached Marin County SELPA 2024-2025 Service Plan) includes a description of special education services to be provided by the Nicasio School District, including the nature of the services and the physical location at which the services will be provided. Additionally, the Marin County SELPA has a description of special education programming available within Marin County school districts consistent with the California Education Code 56361 requirement for a continuum of special education programming options to be available within each SELPA. This information is updated on an annual basis and can be accessed on the Marin County SELPA website (see https://selpa.marinschools.on!labout-selpa). It would be misleading to attempt to describe the specific special education services available under the IDEA on the Nicasio School District's website. Every student with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is unique and the range of services available to a student is dependent on the identified needs of the student and the recommendation(s) of the IEP team . By design, IEP service delivery is something that cannot be meaningfully prepackaged into a list or description. More importantly, posting a listing of possible IEP services available to students removes the "Individualized" from the IEP.

Each school district should use the Special Education Information System service tracking module to track every student's Individualized Education Programs allocated service hours and the hours provided to each student. Response: The recommendation will not be implemented The Nicasio School District is currently utilizing a system to effectively maintain the necessary information to track Individualized Education Program (IEP) service delivery at no cost to the district. The Nicasio School District has ensured all service providers understand their obligation to deliver services in accordance with each student's agreed upon IEP. The service tracking system is actively and effectively working to meet all the current service tracking requirements identified by the California Department of Education (see attached). Additionally, the service tracking system is directly connected to other unique school district data management operations. Transferring to another system would be an unnecessary hardship to the Nicasio School District and does not appear warranted at this time.

The Special Education Information System is a valuable tool that, when used consistently, will increase the likelihood that students with learning differences will have their Individualized Education Programs effectively administered, thereby increasing the chances of success for those students. Response: Partially Agree The Special Education Information System (SEIS) is a valuable tool that supports the Nicasio School District with online access to develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), manage special education data, submit California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) reports, and track Individualized Education Program (IEP) service delivery. However, there are no findings in the report that suggest that the use of SEIS specifically or exclusively is connected to an increase in the effective administration of IEPs, or in student success. FS: Many school districts do not use the Special Education Information System to track whether the district has provided the service hours required by Individualized Education Programs. Response: Agree

The Marin County Office of Education should analyze each school district's Individualized Education Programs compliance data and make the results available to the public in its annual report. Response: The recommendation will not be implemented As noted in this report on , the California Department of Education is required to establish a rigorous data collection process and evaluation program for monitoring the delivery of special education services to students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The responsibility for monitoring and analyzing service delivery rests with the California Department of Education.

Federal and state laws are cited throughout this notice using English abbreviations, which are explained in a glossary at the end of this notification. What is the Notice of Procedural Safeguards? This information provides you as parents, legal guardians, and surrogate parents of children with disabilities from 3 years of age through age 21 and students who have reached age 18, the age of majority, with an overview of your educational rights or procedural safeguards. The Notice of Procedural Safeguards is required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and must be provided to you: • When you ask for a copy • The first time your child is referred for a special education assessment • Each time you are given an assessment plan to evaluate your child • Upon receipt of the first state or due process complaint in a school year, and • When the decision is made to make a removal that constitutes a change of placement (20 United States Code [USC] Section 1415[d ]; 34 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Section 300.504; California Education Code [EC] Section 56301 [d] [2], EC Section 56321, and EC Section 56341.1 [g] [1]) What is the IDEA? IDEA is a federal law that requires school districts to provide a "free appropriate public education" (FAPE) to eligible children with disabilities. A free appropriate public T21-822, Notice of Procedural Safeguards, English, Arial font California Department of Education education means that special education and related services are to be provided as described in an individualized education program (IEP) and under public supervision to your child at no cost to you. May I participate in decisions about my child's education? You must be given the opportunity to participate in any decision-making meeting regarding your child's special education program. You have the right to participate in IEP team meetings about the identification (eligibility), assessment, or educational placement of your child and other matters relating to your child's FAPE. (20 USC Section 1414[d] [1]B-[d][1][D]; 34 CFR Section 300.321; EC Section 56341[b], and EC Section 56343[c]) The parent or guardian, and the local educational agency (LEA), has the right to participate in the development of the IEP and to initiate their intent to electronically audiotape the proceedings of the IEP team meetings. At least 24 hours prior to the meeting, the parent or guardian shall notify the members of the IEP team of their intent to record a meeting. If the parent or guardian does not consent to the LEA audiotape recording an IEP meeting, the meeting shall not be recorded on an audiotape recorder. Your rights include information about the availability of FAPE, including all program options, and all available alternative programs, both public and nonpublic. (20 USC sections 1401 [3], and 1412[a][3]; 34 CFR Section 300.111; EC sections 56301, 56341.1[9][1], and 56506) Where can I get more help? When you have a concern about your child's education, it is important that you contact your child's teacher or administrator to talk about your child and any problems you see. Staff in your school district or special education local plan area (SELPA) may answer questions about your child's education, your rights, and procedural safeguards. Also, when you have a concern, this informal conversation often solves the problem and helps to maintain open communication. You may also want to contact one of the California parent organizations such as the Family Empowerment Centers on Disability (FECs) or the Parent Training and Information Centers (PTICs) located across the state. These organizations were established to increase collaboration between parents and educators to improve the educational system and provide information, training, and additional resources for families of students and young adults with disabilities. Contact information for these organizations is found on the California Department of Education (COE) Special T21-822, Notice of Procedural Safeguards, English, Arial font California Department of Education Education California Parent Organizations web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/se/qa/caprntorg.asp.

If you refuse to consent to the initiation of services, the school district must not provide special education and related services and shall not seek to provide services through due process procedures. If you consent in writing to the special education and related services for your child but do not consent to all of the components of the IEP, those components of the program to which you have consented must be implemented without delay. If the school district determines that the proposed special education program component to which you do not consent is necessary to provide a FAPE to your child, a due process hearing must be initiated. If a due process hearing is held, the hearing decision shall be final and binding. In the case of reevaluations, the school district must document reasonable measures to obtain your consent.
