Webb, Shelby From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Ginger Gates Monday, June 11, 2018 11:09 AM Pearcy, Tammy; Porter, Justin R4 SPED Strategic Plan Guidance Document 1.4 Determining SDI.docx; 1.5 Determining SDI_Example.docx; R4 SPED Strategic Plan Guidance Document.docx Dear TEA Friends, We received this weekend the first draft of the document we are working on to support our districts with the Strategic Plan (child find and compensatory services obligations). We worked on it this weekend and though it is NOT perfect. I am hoping we have a good enough draft to train from on Friday. I have sent it to our editors…but I would LOVE for you to look at it just to make sure we are not off base in anything we are telling them. This one will go out as draft with the understanding that subsequent guidance will be provided by TEA and we will incorporate. My districts were asking for guidance NOW as they look toward next school year in their planning, so I felt obligated to at least start the conversation. I know this is a huge favor, given the time crunch, but do you mind skimming it to give us feedback? I can submit changes up until about Tuesday night to our editors. Then it goes to print (of course unless you tell me we are very wrong!) Thank you so much!! Ginger E.
