Policy IHBAB
It shall be the policy of the South Portland School Department to refer all school-age students suspected of having a disability that requires special education to the Individualized Education Program (IEP) Team for an evaluation in the suspected area(s) of disability. Referrals of students to the IEP Team may be made by professional school staff, by parents and by other persons knowledgeable about the student’s educational needs.
The Superintendent of Schools, in consultation with the Director of Instructional Support, may develop procedures for referral and the use of pre-referral interventions within the South Portland School Department, and may, from time to time, amend those procedures as necessary.
