Suspensions, MDR and Expelled Students
Charter school personnel are responsible for holding suspension hearings for Students with Disabilities. Charter regulations require that you notify the district to conduct a manifestation determination prior to removing a student for more than 10 days.
Contact the Buffalo Public School Manifestation Determination Office in writing via fax (816-3049) to schedule a Manifestation Determination Review (MDR)
Provide to MDR office, via fax (816-3049) the name of the student, the discipline reports, names of the special education and general education teacher, as well as any additional school representatives who will be attending the MDR meeting.
Meetings will be convened at 432 City Hall
For students approaching 10 cumulative days of “suspension”: Contact the MDR Office in writing via fax (816-3049) to request that Pattern
Determination be conducted. Forward to the MDR office, via fax (816-3049) the name of the student, Buffalo I.D. #,
and the discipline records. Following the MDR, the CSE will convene to review IEP recommendations, the need for FBA and/or BIP, and to determine, as applicable, the need for IAES (Interim Alternative Educational Setting) and special education services necessary to enable the student to continue to participate in the general curriculum and progress in meeting the goals set out in the student’s IEP. The Charter school is responsible for providing for providing these services. In cases of expulsion, charter school personnel will email the appropriate CSE chairperson, with the student’s last date of attendance, as well as parent contact information. In addition, the school should inform the parent of the need to register the student at School 12, if the parent is planning on having the child attend a BPS school. The parent should bring immunization records, proof of address, and birth certificate to register the student. School 12 is located at 33 Ash Street, Buffalo, NY 14204. **NOTE: The Charter School is responsible for providing instructional services (FAPE) until the student is enrolled in another school. Should you have any questions, or need to request a reschedule, etc… contact the MDR office at 816-3640.

Transition Planning Completion of a Level I Assessment is required beginning at age 12. The results of this assessment are to be included in the Academic Present Levels area of the IEP. Transition planning is required for students with disabilities, beginning at age 15 (or turning 15 during the implementation period of the IEP). Information needs to include coordinated set of transition activities and post secondary measurable goals which will reasonably enable students to meet their post-secondary goals for living, further education, and employment. Transition planning and services must also be integrated into the PLEP (Career/Vocation/Transition). See below. Measurable Post-Secondary Goals and Transition Needs - to be in effect when the student is age 15 (and at a younger age, if appropriate), document the long term goals for living, working and learning as an adult. In addition, the IEP for these students must include a statement of the transition service needs of the student that focuses on the student's courses of study, taking into account the student's strengths, preferences and interests as they relate from school to post-school activities.
Education/Training Employment Independent Living Skills (when appropriate) Transition Needs Courses Of Study
Coordinated Set of Transition Activities (School To Post School) - Beginning not later than the first IEP to be in effect when the student is age 15 (and at a younger age, if determined appropriate).

ANNUAL REVIEW
Notification of Annual Review Meetings
Annual Review meetings will be scheduled to be held on or before the annual review by date, as indicated under the “Committee Recommendations” section of the IEP. Case Managers will be notified via e-mail of scheduled annual review meetings. Please ensure that this information is disseminated to appropriate staff expeditiously. This includes the general education teacher(s), special education teacher(s), and related service providers, as applicable.
• Provide a list of service provider(s) for each student with disabilities in your building to the chairperson so that parents receive notification of anticipated attendance on the meeting invitation letter
Preparing for Annual Review
To ensure compliance with regulations, and that the annual review meeting runs smoothly and efficiently, please:
• Notify appropriate staff of the meeting, and the availability of the draft for editing/updating in a timely fashion
• Ensure the availability of meeting space, and coverage for staff members to be in attendance*
• Ensure that students who will be 14 years during the implementation period of the document (or younger, as appropriate) are released from class and encouraged to attend the meeting
• Ensure that all necessary documents are available for discussion the day of the meeting, i.e., as applicable; all related service progress summary reports, behavior intervention plan, Level 1 Transition Assessment, etc., (please have these documents at the table on the day of the meeting; it is not necessary to fax this documentation to the annual review chairperson before the annual review meeting).
*Note: At minimum, the general education teacher and special education teacher of the student are required to be in attendance. Only the parties indicated on the invitation letter may be included in the meeting, unless invited at the request of the parent.
• It is recommended that teachers be encouraged to review the NYS “Guide to Quality Individualized Education Program (IEP) Development and Implementation” for information on developing/writing a quality IEP that is reasonably calculated to allow educational benefit for students. If you do not have this document, please contact the Annual Review Chairperson, and it will be forwarded to you
Completing the Annual Review Draft

via e-mail. Another resource is the “Overview” section of the “Guide to Completing the IEP Planning Sheet”. Teachers are not required to submit the “Student Intervention Record” or “IEP Planning Sheets” for Annual Review.
• Teachers should complete the majority o0f the items in the draft in preparation for the meeting, including: Special Alerts, the Academic Achievement, Social Development, and Physical Development present levels, strengths, and needs areas; Management Needs; Students Needs Related to Special Factors; Measurable Post Secondary Goals (if student is or will be 15 years or older during implementation period of the IEP ); Measurable Annual Goals; Programs; Related Services; Supplementary Aids and Services; Assistive Technology (deleting technology no longer required or updating dates of technology is continuing); Supports for School Personnel on behalf of the Student (consultation services); Test Accommodations; and Coordinating Sets of Transition Activities (if student is or will be 15 years or older during implementation period of the IEP). Ensuring that these areas of the IEP have been drafted prior to the meeting helps to support the ability to finalize the documents promptly, allowing timely 408 Implementation.
• Teachers should not edit the following sections: “Committee Meeting or Agreement Information”, “Committee Recommendations”, “Effect of Student Needs”, “Participation in Assessments”, “Participation with Students without Disabilities”, and “Special Transportation” areas of the IEP.
• An additional area that is recommended to be edited by teachers is the “Statewide and District Wide Assessments” section. Student scores on State ELA & Math assessments, Terra Nova, NYSESLAT, and Regents and/or RCT exams can be entered in this area.
• Start and End Dates on the IEP should reflect the date of the meeting, and one year from the meeting date (i.e., if the meeting is scheduled September 10th, the start date will be 9/10/13 and the end date will be 9/10/14).
• Beginning at age 12, a Level 1 Transition Assessment is required to be completed. The information obtained through this assessment is to be included in the Academic Present Levels Statements. Each subsequent year, this information is to be reviewed & updated. If the student will be 15 years during the implementation period of the document, 2 additional fields must be opened and completed, “Measurable Postsecondary Goals and Transition Needs” and “Coordinated Set of Transition Activities (School to Post-School)”.
• There should be alignment throughout the IEP. The present levels and needs statements are the foundation from which the IEP is built. There should be detailed information regarding the effect of the disability on the student’s access, participation, and progress in the general curriculum. This includes the strategies, modifications, and accommodations the student requires in order to access, participate, and progress in the general curriculum.

• At the annual review it is expected that the progress the student has made toward the goals of the previous IEP will be reviewed/discussed. It is recommended that teachers be prepared to review and discuss data that has been collected during the implementation period of the IEP, as it pertains to targeted goals. Information regarding student progress toward pervious goals should be included in the present levels statement. If recommending a continuation of a goal, the present levels statements should include information regarding the barriers to achieving the goal/ goals, and what instructional strategies/practices/interventions will be employed to ensure the student will be able to meet the targeted goal.
Measurable Annual Goals and the Annual Review Meeting
• Annual Goals must be “skilled-based”, and must align with the needs statements. They are not curriculum goals.
• Annual Goals must be measurable.
• The “Schedule” of the measurable annual goals section indicates how often data will be collected to track student progress, not how often progress will be reported. “Quarterly” is not an appropriate recommendation for tracking progress toward goals. At minimum it would be expected that there would be a monthly tracking schedule in order to have 2 pieces of data to review at the end of a quarter and evaluate progress.
• Change of Classification
Changes that are Not Allowable at an Annual Review
The following are examples of changes to an existing IEP that are not allowable at an annual review meeting:
• Change to a More Restrictive Setting
• Completion of a Functional Behavioral Assessment
• Adding a Related Service (an evaluation is required)
• Adding Assistive Technology, such as computer access (an evaluation is required)
• Recommending a Second Language Exemption
• Changing to Alternate Assessment
• Adding Special Transportation
• Changing Diploma Status
