Including SWD in Emergency Preparedness Executive Order 13347 (2004), Individuals with Disabilities in Emergency Preparedness…requires public entities to include people with disabilities in their emergency preparedness efforts. The design of an effective crisis management plan must include the safety and protection of students with disabilities. Since many of these students’ needs will pose some of the most daunting challenges encountered during and after these events, specific procedures must be developed, planned for and practiced. Schools should seek out and make use of resources such as the U. S. Department of Education’s Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools 2007 report, Practical Information on Crisis Planning: A Guide for Schools and Communities https :// www2.ed.gov/admins/lead/safety/emergencyplan/crisisplanning.pdf A dditional information is available from this article, “Integrating Students with Special Needs and Disabilities into Emergency Response and Crisis Management Planning”: https:// rems.ed.gov/docs/Disability_NewsletterV2I1.pdf 104

Annual Reviews – Alternate Assessment Accommodations

MSAA required that these four accommodations be indicated on a student’s IEP. We will give the DLM next year instead of MSAA. This summer there will be a small update to this section of the IEP. Until then, please ask teachers to leave this alternate assessment accommodation section blank.

For next year ONLY, grades 3-11 will take DLM literacy and math. Grades 3-10 will take DLM science. After next year, DLM will be administered in grades 3-10 for literacy, math, and science. There are no changes in course codes for students who take ACT Aspire. Tinyurl.com/18-19spedLook at pages three and four. 2018-2019 Special Education Course (Assessment) Codes
