Dear Parents/Guardians:
IDEA requires that public school districts
ensure that leaders of private schools and parents of private school and home
schooled students have opportunities to engage in "timely and
meaningful" consultation about the opportunity to access special
education. Ware Public Schools will be
facilitating a Proportionate Share meeting on Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. at the Ware Junior Senior
High School to discuss the following with leaders of private schools and
parents of private school and home schooled students:
a. Child find
process
b. Determination
of proportionate share
c. Consultation
schedule and methodology for the year
d. Provision of
proportionate share services
e. Written
explanation of proportionate share services if the district disagrees with the
views of the
private school officials
Please consider this letter your formal
invitation to attend and participate in the Proportionate Share meeting. Feel free to contact me should you have
questions regarding this matter. I look
forward to meeting with you.
Sincerely,
Jessica R. Bolduc
Director of Special Education
Ware Public Schools
