The table below contains your LEA name, number, and corresponding Differentiated Level of Support. Pay attention to your Differentiated Level of Support. When completing this survey, you will need this information because questions and requirements populate based on your identified level.
PLEASE NOTE: Your LEA name will not be listed if you are a new charter school that opened in 2023-2024 or 2024-2025. You do not have enough historical data to create a determination report—no action is required.
*The following question addresses inexperienced staff members at your LEA and the requirement that "new" staff attend SESTA's Essential Components to the IEP Process training.
The SDE allows the district/charter to determine what is meant by "new" staff; however, special education staff who are in their first year in the profession MUST attend Essential Components. The Department encourages LEAs to require staff members who do not have a solid understanding of the IEP process to attend SESTA's Essential Components training.
Please provide information about the training attended.
*NOTE: Your LEA must create an action item(s) aligned to the training the LEA's staff attended. When creating your action item(s), keep the following steps in mind:
- Analyze the Data
- Clarify and Prioritize the Problem(s)
- Attend a webinar, training, or PD aligned to the priority(s)
- Implement Solutions: The Action Item/Plan
- Monitor and Evaluate
*This question is required.
It is a requirement for the special education director or designee(s) to identify appropriate staff to attend a SESTA or SDE training around an area of needed improvement as indicated by the LEAs' Determination report. If staff members could not attend a training, please contact Debi Smith, Support and Monitoring Coordinator, for a list of training modules aligned to the LEA's area of need.
