POLICY

 

It is the policy of the South Burlington School District to provide a continuum of educational services through a comprehensive Educational Support System to increase the ability of schools within the District to meet the needs of all students in the general education environment.

 

Each school in the District shall create an Educational Support System (ESS), designed and implemented in consultation with parents, to assist teachers in accommodating children in the regular classroom.  The system shall consist of an Educational Support Team composed of staff from a variety of teaching and support service positions and shall incorporate a range of referral, support and remedial services as well as the means to determine the effectiveness of accommodations or services recommended by the Educational Support Team (EST).

 

This Educational Support System will comply with the requirements of 16 V.S.A. §§ 2901, 2902 and 2904, and Rules 2194 and 2120.8.1.3 of the Vermont State Board of Education.
