IDEA Part B Survey - Share Letter with Parents

As shared in the School Leader Update from the Iowa Department of Education:

Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) requires states to report the percent of parents with a child receiving special education services who report that schools facilitated parent involvement as a means of improving services and results for children with disabilities. This year, the Iowa Department of Education is gathering these data as a census for both students with and without a disability using a three-question survey.

This Parent Letter has a survey link that you are asked to share with all parents via email, website, and/or social media.

If you have any questions, contact Meredith MacQuigg, Data Consultant, Iowa Department of Education at (515) 494-5610 or meredith.macquigg@iowa.gov.

The Principal TLC Coaching with the New York City Leadership Academy was presented to superintendents and principals during the Superintendents meetings the first week of April. As a reminder, the deadline for pre-registration is TODAY, April 21.

The TLC Administrator Support Program is a comprehensive, year-long professional development program focused on building your capacity as the principal to develop and facilitate distributed leadership in your school, namely by supporting and leveraging teacher leaders as part of your leadership team.

Cost for the program will be $5,000-$6,000 unless the legislature makes last minute funding changes. You may edit your TLC plan and use TLC implementation dollars for this Principal Coaching program. Please consider pre-registration so appropriate planning can be done for the 2017-18 school year.
