Board Discussed an Update on High School Start Time Community Survey Implementation
The Board received an update on the community survey to be deployed to gauge interest in adjusting high school start times. Survey questions include demographic info on the survey taker’s role (teacher, student, parent/caregiver, etc.), benefits and challenges of later high school start times, and start time choice.
Adjustments were made to include current high school start times, ensuring the neutrality of the survey, translations, and accessibility of language. The Department will make the changes and will bring the revised survey back to the Board at its June meeting.
The link will go out to school districts and through the Department’s website and newsletter. The survey will run from 2-3 weeks. It is anticipated to go live in September.
Board Discussed NAC 388.430 Age Requirements and Voted to Reconsider Age Requirements that Apply to the Developmental Delay Categorical Eligibility under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
NAC 388.430 details that a pupil under the age of six may be identified as a student with a developmental delay, under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Proposed regulations would extend that designation to under the age of 10, to allow for continued access to special education services, including Individualized Education Programs, or IEPs, with targeted interventions to address specific learning needs.
It would also provide for more time for accurate diagnoses for specific learning disabilities, which may not be clear at six years old. Extending the age also could lead to improved social and emotional development alongside academic interventions.
Potential changes needed would include increased teacher preparation to encompass specific learning and developmental needs through third grade; review of eligibility forms; a shift in evaluations to focus on assessing developmental delays to consider both developmental levels and academic readiness; investment in recruiting and retaining qualified teachers, special education professionals, and support staff; and more comprehensive assessments.
The Board voted to move forward with reconsidering the age requirements that apply to the Developmental Delay categorical eligibility under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
