Provide brief explanation of your process for ensuring these selected characteristics. All classroom teachers received training regarding the PA Core state standards in Mathematics and/or English Language Arts. Emphasis on Text Dependent Analysis and teaching to the rigor of the PA Core has been a focus of the SSD. The district underwent a major curriculum revision starting in the 2014-2015 school year and continuing presently. Unhappy with the academic progress of the students, the district wanted to target foundational skills, while layering interventions and remediation through tiered differentiation into all content areas. This project's goal date is the end of the 2017- 2018 school year. Changes to the course catalogue and course sections were a part of this project. Curricular revisions are an embedded and cyclical part of all professional development. All building level principals must develop an action plan for improved academic 38 achievement. Targeted professional development for the unique needs of each building is site-based. These must be data-driven and reflected in the principal's SLO. Additionally, Professional Development courses are offered throughout the year through the American Federation of Teachers, Educational Research and Dissemination Program. Furthermore, the district partners with NEIU #19 and PATTAN to ensure teachers and administrators are informed of relevant and pressing educational information.

Provide brief explanation for strategies not selected and how you plan to address their incorporation. After a recent audit by PDE, corrective action targets were established for the SSD.

Special Education

Special Education Students Total students identified: 1821

Identification Method Identify the District's method for identifying students with specific learning disabilities.

In the 2016-2017 school year, Student Support Teams(Child Study) will be established in each of the elementary buildings to serve the role of coordinating support for the students who are not achieving success academically, behaviorally, socially or emotionally. Multiple sources of data and the documention of the student’s lack of achievement may include results of the benchmark assessments, formative assessments and summative assessments. Review of current academic progress, review of records (discipline, health, and attendance), and the team’s input will determine the student’s course of intervention. Through the Student Support Team, interventions will be determined and placed into action through regular education initiatives, or it could be determined that a multidisciplinary evaluation is required to determine if the student is not achieving adequately in one or more of these areas listed above at which time the family will be presented the District’s intent to evaluate the areas of concern. At this time, the Student Support Team (SST) gathers the parent input, teacher input, classroom observations, curriculum based measures, rating scales, report cards grades, review of the history, medical needs, outside agency information and the student’s current classroom functioning relative to peers. 44

The Scranton School District identifies students with specific learning disabilities using an aptitude achievement discrepancy model. This model is used in all 16 public buildings, non- public and students placed by the district outside of Scranton. Multidisciplinary teams conduct comprehensive evaluations determining if the student meets the criteria of the Specific Learning Disability definition as stated below. The SLD identification for the Discrepancy Model is “…a process that examines whether a child exhibits a pattern of strengths and weaknesses, relative to intellectual ability as defined by a severe discrepancy between ability and achievement (Discrepancy Model) or relative to age or grade.” (§14.125[a][2][ii]) . The analysis of strengths and weaknesses will identify whether the student has a severe discrepancy between intellectual ability and achievement or whether the student has a severe discrepancy relative to age or grade. Severe discrepancy may or may not be the same based on the pattern of processing that a child demonstrates, but rather the determination is based on a process which examines whether the child exhibits a pattern of [relative] strengths and weaknesses relative to his/her cognitive abilities and/or intellectual functioning but not exclusively “overall level of intellectual functioning” and which examines the existence of specific cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses and those processes underlying learning and/or performance. For SLD determination, the Scranton School District identifies that the child is not achieving adequately for his/her age and/or is not meeting the Pennsylvania approved grade level standards in one or more of the eight areas of functioning. The identification process includes exclusionary factors of vision, hearing, motor problems, intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbance, cultural, environmental, economic disadvantages, and limited English proficiency.

Enrollment Review the Enrollment Difference Status. If necessary, describe how your district plans to address any significant disproportionalities.

The data is publicly available via the PennData website. You can view your most recent report. The link is: https://penndata.hbg.psu.edu/PublicReporting/DataataGlance/tabid/2523/Default.aspx

The Scranton School District is discrepant for both the overall percentage of students in special education as well as the category of emotional disturbance. The Scranton School District percentage of special education students is 19% compared with the state average of 15.6%. The Scranton School District percentage of emotional support students is 13.2% compared with the state average of 8.5%. The Scranton School District reviews annually the total population of students being evaluated and eligible for services on a yearly basis. While the number of students identified as special education is higher than the state average by 3.4%, the district is in the process of establishing Student Support teams in each elementary building to account for intervention case management meeting the needs of the individual learner. The district also is reviewing special education service delivery 45 models and plans to implement the committees recommendations for the 2016-2017 school year. Recommendations by the committee thus far are child study, children receiving special education in their home schools, professional development in behavior management for all faculty, hiring a BCAB and classroom coaches to coach teachers on how to manage behaviors at the classroom level.

Non-Resident Students Oversight 1. How does the District meet its obligation under Section 1306 of the Public School Code as the host District at each location? 2. How does the District ensure that students are receiving a free appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE)? 3. What problems or barriers exist which limit the District's ability to meet its obligations under Section 1306 of the Public School Code?

The Scranton School District provides educational supports for students identified under Section 1306 of the Public School Code. Under Section 1306 of the Pennsylvania School Code, the Scranton School District has nonresident students attend our programs until the student receives a diploma or completes the school term in which they turn 21. The Scranton School District provides for the educational program for students, including students with disabilities who are placed in that facility, and for ensuring the provision of a “free appropriate public education” for eligible children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and for “qualified handicapped students” with 22 PA Code Chapter 14 and Service Agreements in accordance with § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 within 22 PA Code Chapter 15. With the provision of an appropriate educational program, the Scranton School District has Child Find obligations for children “thought-to-be” eligible for special education services and/or accommodations who are within the Districts population. This responsibility includes locating, identifying, and evaluating all §1306 students with suspected disabilities, including but not limited to evaluating students for whom a request for an evaluation has been made. When Scranton School District suspects that a child may be eligible for special education or for a Service Agreement under 22 PA Code Chapter 14 and/or Chapter 15, the Scranton School District provides a Permission to Evaluate- Consent to initiate evaluation procedures from an person who meets the definition of parent in the IDEA, a surrogate parent appointed by the host district, or a person appointed by a court to provide such consent. If a child is identified by Scranton School District and in need of specially designed instruction under IDEA and Chapter 14, Scranton School District provides a special education evaluation under IDEA and Chapter 14. If neither the parent of a child who is eligible or thought-to-be eligible for special education nor an individual who meets the definition of parent in the IDEA can be located, the Scranton School District will appoint a surrogate parent to support the student. The Scranton School District enrolls each 1306 student acquiring records from the sending school district. This process is to ensure that all students have access to education and students with disabilities receive FAPE in accordance with their IEPs or Service 46

Agreements. If the student has an IEP from the sending school district, the Scranton School District will host a team meeting within 30 days of enrollment to determine whether the child’s IEP should be revised, whether the student can be educated in the public schools of the host district, or whether some other placement option is appropriate for the student. Until a new IEP is developed for the student by the IEP team including the parent or surrogate, the student receives services comparable to the existing education plan. The Scranton School District is responsible for monitoring the educational progress, reviewing educational services at least quarterly and for maintaining contact with the resident school district with respect to the student’s placement and progress. Our program is committed to providing FAPE, complying with the requirements of IDEA and Chapter 14 or §504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Chapters 15 or 16 of Title 22 of the Pennsylvania Code to prepare the 1306 student to meet any applicable promotion and/or graduation requirements.

Incarcerated Students Oversight Describe the system of oversight the District would implement to ensure that all incarcerated students who may be eligible for special education are located, identified, evaluated and when deemed eligible, are offered a free appropriate public education (FAPE).

Scranton School District implements the identical procedures for a student child find, identification, evaluation and development of an educational program under the provision of IDEA and FAPE. The District supplies a general education teacher, special education teacher and guidance counselor to support the identification and provision of services of students while incarcerated or detained. Educational programming is offered and encouraged while students are in the safety, care and control of the judicial system.

Least Restrictive Environment 1. Describe the District procedures, which ensure that, to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities, including those in private institutions, are educated with non-disabled children, and that removal from the regular education environment only occurs when education in that setting with supplementary aids and services, cannot be achieved satisfactorily. 2. Describe how the District is replicating successful programs, evidence-based models, and other PDE sponsored initiatives to enhance or expand the continuum of supports/services and education placement options available within the District to support students with disabilities access the general education curriculum in the least restrictive environment (LRE). (Provide information describing the manner in which the District utilizes site-based training, consultation and technical assistance opportunities available through PDE/PaTTAN, or other public or private agencies.) 3. Refer to and discuss the SPP targets and the district's percentages in the Indicator 5 section - Educational Environments. Also discuss the number of students placed out of the district and how those placements were determined to assure that LRE requirements are met. 47

The Scranton School District is bound to deliver special education programs and supports for exceptional students in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). The methods for the delivery of the curriculum from the least restrictive to the most restrictive are listed below: General Education, General education with supplementary aids and services within the general education classroom, General education with supplementary aids in co-taught classes, Access to the general education curriculum with supplementary aids and services in the special education classroom, and Special education classroom using a research based curriculum specially designed for the student with a disability. Decisions to implement and support of the student's Individualized Education Plan occur at least yearly with the student's IEP team. The Scranton School District uses a variety of strategies to ensure that children with disabilities are educated with non-disabled peers. A staff of seven school psychologists, one educational diagnostician, special education teachers, regular education teachers, and related service providers are assigned to various schools to offer support for students maintained in regular education. This includes adapted materials and resources, curriculum, instructional strategies and a host of other sound educational practices. In addition, supports such as, Title I Reading and Math and newly established relationship with the University of Scranton to develop preservice trained teachers with Scranton School District elementary students employing bridging education from day to afterschool. The District also employs over sixty paraprofessionals, some one on one, as well as, BHRS Therapeutic Staff Support provided by outside agencies such as, but not limited to Scranton Counseling Center, Friendship House, NHS, Youth Advocate and Family Enrichment. The District works in conjunction with School Based Behavioral Health mental health program offering supports within our schools. Two local mental health providers are working with Community Care Behavioral Health in directing School Based Mental Health programs in most elementary buildings, three Intermediate Schools and both of the high schools. The District utilizes one-on-one building level Intensive Case Managers through the Scranton Counseling Center who work in each of our buildings serving students in need of mental health services.

Intensive Interagency/Ensuring FAPE/Hard to Place Students 1. If the LEA is having difficulty ensuring FAPE for an individual student or a particular disability category, describe the procedures and analysis methods used to determine gaps in the continuum of special education supports, services and education placement options available for students with disabilities. 2. Include information detailing successful programs, services, education placements as well as identified gaps in current programs, services, and education placements not available within the LEA. Include an overview of services provided through interagency collaboration within the LEA. 3. Discuss any expansion of the continuum of services planned during the life of this plan.

The Scranton School District ensures that hard to place students have appropriate placements and supports each on a case-by-case basis. Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit TaC staff supports through an interagency process. The Scranton School District uses this independent approach with the student's agency and familial supports through this process. Multiple meetings occur to coordinate the services necessary to program and support the student with an appropriate educational placement. The Director of Special Education and Support Services for the District contacts the NEIU #19 Coordinator to develop the appropriate team, complete the necessary paperwork, develop an action plan and prepare resources for the family. If the team is unable through the meeting process to resolve the student's educational placement, additional assistance is requested from the regional intensive agency coordinator. The Scranton School District works closely with local agencies to provide coordinated services for its students with disabilities. We work with various mental health providers to assist in the provision of mental health services and hosts interagency meetings in schools. In addition, Scranton School District team members assist in coordinating supports with local law enforcement, county agencies and local educational programs to better serve and support our students with disabilities. 54

Strengths and Highlights Describe the strengths and highlights of your current special education services and programs. Include in this section directions on how the district provides trainings for staff, faculty and parents.

The Scranton School District is committed to serving our students through a growing continuum of services and supports in each of its 16 buildings. Programs exist for students within each of the 13 disabilites in the following: autistic support, blind/visually impaired support, deaf or hearing impaired support, emotional support, learning support, life skills support, multiple disabilities support, physical support and speech and language support. Throughout each building, the Scranton School District models the integration of its inclusionary programs into the general education environment. Co-teaching, differentiated instruction and professional learning collaboration is employed in the two high schools, three intermediate schools, and the eleven elementary schools. Preparation and planning between Special Education Teachers, Special Education Paraprofessionals, and Regular Education Teachers is coordinated to ensure the success of our special education students. Most recently in the elementary schools, grade level professional learning teams of teachers and paraprofessionals are in support of integrating instruction, assessment and ultimately student achievement. Throughout the last two school years, trainings were provided to staff to support compliance monitoring to the child find, (re)evaluation and IEP development. In addition, educational benefit review trainings were provided district-wide to address discrimination of our data collection, goal and services development and revision of the IEP process. In past years, NEIU #19 has been involved in training Administrators, Regular Education Teachers, Special Education Teachers, and Paraprofessionals in four models consisting of an Introduction and Interview, Models of Inclusion and Adaptations, Differentiated Instruction and Effective Behavior Support. Our Special Education Program provides a collaborative effort of all school personnel, working together to provide a quality program for all students. The Scranton School District’s desire is to give students with disabilities as sense of belonging to a school community. We encourage all of our special education students to participate in extra-curricular activities that will allow them to extend their learning into afterschool opportunities. Our Special Education Staff are committed to providing our Special Education students with a meaniningful educational experience. The District has collaborated with agencies such as the Northeastern Pennsylvania Center for Independent Living (CIL), “Supporting Autism and Families Everywhere” (SAFE) and IU19 to develop Competent Learner Model (CLM) classrooms for our autistic and life skills students. With the assistance of IU19 and PaTTAN, the District supports and implements, the state incentives of Progress Monitoring and Standards Based IEPs focusing on the areas of Reading, Mathematics, and Written Expression. The staff is provided with ongoing in-service training and is encouraged to attend conferences which would provide them with cutting edge teaching methodology and strategies. Our District hosts a Partial Hospitalization program at the High School and Intermediate levels and has contracted to have other mental health services available in all our schools. The Scranton School District works in cooperation with Scranton Counseling Center, Friendship House and Lourdesmont to provide students with a therapeutic 55 educational environment. School Wide Positive Behavior Supports are embedded in 4 elementary schools with one addition in fall 2013, one intermediate school with the addition of 1 in fall 2013, and is to be added to both high schools in fall 2013. School Based Behavioral Health teams are employed in 5 elementary schools with one to be added in fall 2013 and in each of the three intermediate schools and in one of our high school programs. The Scranton School District supports and attends the NEIU 19 annual Transition Fair in March 2016. Multiple local agencies supporting independent living, employment, and continuing post-secondary education provided program information to our students and families. The Scranton School District has developed a Transition Program designed to introduce, train, and place students in work experience program within the community. Special Education students from West Scranton and Scranton High School are eligible to participate in this school to work program for a no more than fifteen of hours weekly. The Transition Coordinator provides assistance from application to acceptance. The Elementary Schools Curriculum Committee is writing curriculum and devlepoing Common Core trainings including instruction, assessment and planning to improve student achievement. We utilize specialized multisensory and phonological-based reading programs, in addition, to other comprehensive and supplementary reading programs to meet the individual needs of our special needs students. The Special Education students are supported using the following assessments: DIBELS, AIMSweb, and Brigance for Progress Monitoring for our special education students. Elementary students are using Fast Forward, Wison and Fundations. Our Middle School and High School students are utilizing Fast Forward supplemental reading program. The District recently embarked upon the implementation of the Classroom Diagnostic Tools (CDT) for its students grades 3th through10th. Our Assessment Committee has developed a comprehensive plan to monitor and analyze data from grades two through eleven. Data teams meet at least quarterly to review and plan for ongoing instruction and assessment. The District is involved in the Stop Truancy and Really Succeed (STARS) Program that is a cross-systems collaborative project based on research, planning, and implementation relying on input from schools, community services, and the court system. By collectively searching for solutions, the District, along with other service agencies, is able to capitalize on the creativity and initiative of individuals in each of the systems. The continuing process of communication and collaboration allows the District to adjust the program and respond to new issues or concerns. Other goals include strengthening the relationship among students, family, and the school, and at the same time, hold parents accountable for ensuring their child gains a full and proper education. Emphasizing the importance of education is a basic building block of the Program. Finally, a long-term goal is to reduce the rate of juvenile delinquency and ultimately adult criminal activity. The Scranton School District is making an extra effort to establish positive rapport and communication with our parents of special education students. Realizing this need to continue to support our students while understanding the needs of our families, the District will establish a parent support organization to better meet the needs of our students valuing the voices of our parents. The District realizes the importance of this relationship 56 and the cooperation with the parents leads to the success we will have with their students. It is the District's goal to continue to increase the number of training opportunities for parents of students with special needs. 57
