The Ohio Department of Education, Office for Exceptional Children provides funding through IDEA Part B federal funds to the State Support Team for Region 3 to provide high quality technical assistance to assist school districts in improving the academic achievement of students with disabilities and those who are at risk of being identified as disabled as a component of the Ohio Improvement Process (OIP). In addition, SST staff partner with districts as they participate in the Comprehensive Monitoring Process for special education on site reviews. The SST also provides high quality professional development to district personnel and families regarding compliance with federal and state laws and regulations related to the education of children with disabilities.
The Office of Exceptional Children has developed a resource, edresourcesohio which provides links to all the important information for maintaining compliance with IDEA and the Operating Standards for Ohio’s Educational Agencies Serving Children with Disabilities. This site also includes the Ohio Model Policies and Procedures required and optional forms, in addition to a wealth of other information to assist in serving students with disabilities.
