Answer:
I&RS Meeting: The I&RS Team process is a collaborative school effort between district personnel and parents to intervene when a child has been identified as making minimal academic and/or emotional progress in the general education setting. The team or committee collects and evaluates relevant data in order to determine or identify specific barriers to student performance as well as develop appropriate interventions.
Identification/Planning Meeting: This meeting provides the opportunity for the school and/or parents to convey concerns related to the child's educational progress. The full CST is in attendance and will determine if an evaluation is warranted. If an evaluation is warranted, the CST will develop an evaluation plan and present it to the parents for their consent. If the parents consent to the plan, the CST has 90 days to complete the assessments, determine the child's eligibility, and if found eligible, develop a program.
Eligibility Meeting: At this meeting, the case manager presents the findings from the completed assessments, reviews the child's eligibility status, and if eligible, develops appropriate programming for the student in collaboration with the IEP team.
IEP Meeting: In this meeting, the IEP team reviews the child's progress in the current program and then plans for future programming based on the information presented.
