Please see the following updates highlighted below.
In State Transfers (Timeline and procedure):
When your school receives sped records for an instate transfer student, please be sure to follow the following timeline and procedures.
- School Receives Special Education Records
- The special education team looks over records and then forwards them to RCC as soon as possible via email or intra-district mail (electronic is preferable)
- The Special Education Team needs to assign a Case Manager
- The case manager needs to add students to the SE side and build the Team
- Records Clerks will upload the transfer IEP into Synergy and email the case manager letting them know it is ready
- The case manager should hold a meeting within 10 school days to determine if they will accept the transfer IEP as is or will need to write a new one
- The case manager then needs to send the meeting notes (needs to indicate if the IEP is being accepted as written or a new IEP will be developed) directly to the records clerk who reviewed the transfer IEP and emailed you the update. *sending in notes from your meeting is a critical step that is often overlooked/delayed
“BIP” is now “PBSP”
The previous form “Behavior Intervention Plan – BIP” has been replaced with the “Positive Behavior Support Plan – PBSP”
The old form will no longer be accepted; the new form located in the process documents is the correct form to be used. Please do not send in attached PDF, word docs, or other documents to upload as a behavior plan. The information should be copied into the new PBSP Synergy form in the student’s current process.
Please be sure that the IEP always reflects that there is a Positive Behavior Support Plan indicated under Special Factors and Accommodations.
