CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-11-28 | 5 | ITEM 2-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, November 28, 2018, 6:30 PM Victoria Forester: And if you could stop it just right there, perfect. Systems of support, you'll see that each page is a chapter as I explained. And each chapter has goals, then a strategy to support the goal. Strategy number one in systems of support is to develop and implement effective procedures and protocols with fidelity, right. And certainly as we go through this plan, you'll see that it is costly. There are things that we need to do that cost money. And School districts always have a difficult time with budget. Our school district in particular has approved this plan, the Board of Education has, and adopted the fact that it's going to cost some money as we go through this process. Victoria Forester: In the long run it will save the district money, because we are doing things right, and that's the point of this. Past chapter five, you'll see at the end of the plan the next page is a reference and literature page. Every reading that we did, every scholarly piece of work that we read is listed right here. If you go on our planning team web page on the Alameda Unified School District website you will see the work week, or month for month that we did. And you can look at all of the data that was collected. It really is a very transparent process. And if you'll scroll down one more, the glossary. I can speak in full paragraphs using acronyms. And no one understands what we're talking about and I often hear from my son around the dinner table, "Would you stop talking Special Ed?". Because we say the ELCA brought us the IEP, which kept this with FCMAT. So the glossary is there for folks that don't speak that highly acronym language to figure out what we're talking about. Victoria Forester: The very last page is just a mailing sheet, if you fold the whole plan in half, you can't see the last page because it's not on here, then you can put a mailing label and put it in the mail, so it's a very usable plan. So what's next for our work this year is a three-session steering committee. Again, we have put together a strong committee of stakeholders that includes parents, as well as educational professionals. And we've actually asked a couple of high school students to be a part of our work as well. And our job, the steering committee's job, is to give my team the feedback on where we're accomplishing things within the strategic plan, and where we need more work. We will meet three times this year and three times next year. And in the third year, my goal is that we've accomplished everything in the plan, or almost everything, and we have to go back and write a new plan. That is the goal. It's a three year plan. Our steering committee will begin, gosh, week after next, and we will have a meeting in February as well, and then another meeting in April. With that, do you have questions about our strategic plan or anything about special education in the district that I could answer? Leslie Morrison: I have a couple of questions. You said it's a three year plan. Victoria Forester: Yes. Jennifer Roloff: So, is that school year? Should I wait? Victoria Forester: Yes, except for I have a couple of questions.
