DECEMBER 1 CHILD COUNT:<\/em><\/strong>  This is the week!  <\/em><\/strong>December 1st is the deadline for submission of the SECC (Special Education Child Count) to the Oregon Department of Education. It’s crucial to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the data for federal reporting, fiscal, and statistical purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements for the Student Count:<\/em><\/strong> To be reported on the SECC, a student must meet the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Active enrollment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Current eligibility for special education services<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Current Individualized Education Program (IEP)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What does this mean? <\/strong> All student’s IEP paperwork, including eligibility and IEP, must be finalized on or before Dec 1 to count in this collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Records Clerks are only reviewing paperwork that was submitted by Friday, November 17.  If case managers did not submit paperwork for a review by the date, CASE MANAGERS are still responsible for finalizing all paperwork for meetings held on or before the DEC 1 deadline.  If you have any questions please reach out to a student services coach or administrator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
