 SUBJECT:    Special Education Plan Trainings for Phase 2 Districts

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) is responsible for ensuring that all special education programs in schools are appropriate and effective.  To do this, school districts must submit a Special Education Plan every three years to PDE as required under 22 PA Code 14.104.
The school district's Special Education Plan focuses on plans generated from compliance monitoring, professional development activities, and training necessary to provide appropriate programs to students with disabilities.  School districts will submit their plans by May 1, 2016, via the Comprehensive Planning Web Application.  Training regarding the Comprehensive Planning Web Application will be a critical component of the Special Education Plan submission.

Special Education Plan training for Phase 2 school districts will be held on the following dates at the three Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN) locations.

Pittsburgh               Nov. 6, 2015           9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Harrisburg               Nov. 12, 2015         9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
King of Prussia        Nov. 13, 2015         9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Act 48 hours will be offered for these trainings.  Please register online at http://www.pattan.net.  If you experience difficulties with registration, please contact your local PaTTAN office.  Registration is required for all sessions.  A list of Phase 2 school districts grouped by intermediate unit is included at the end of this Penn*Link.
We recognize your time and effort required to complete the Special Education Plan.  Your efforts in doing so will help to continually improve programs for the students we serve.
