How will progress on the Special Education Strategic Plan be monitored and shared with the community?

Data related to the Special Education Strategic Plan will be collected, monitored and analyzed on a regular basis depending on the associated high-leverage strategy. A designated implementation team will collaborate on a bi-weekly basis to discuss progress and make recommendations as needed. Quarterly progress updates will be shared on the HCPSS website, and reports will be shared at Board meetings. 

In the Special Education Strategic Plan, what does “2e” mean and how are we ensuring that students are appropriately identified as “2e”?

The term “2e” or "twice-exceptional" refers to individuals who demonstrate both advanced cognitive abilities (giftedness) and one or more learning differences or disabilities. This can include conditions such as dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD), emotional disabilities, speech language disabilities and others.
