SVVSD is planning on cutting the Special Education Facilitator Position from all schools next year. We're asking that these cuts not be made without the input of all stakeholders: parents, children, and teachers of all SVVSD schools.
Why is this important?
My son is a special education student at Niwot Elementary. The Special Education Facilitator helped him, and many other students, through the long and arduous process of getting an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). The Special Education Facilitator supports the school and special education team by working directly with children who are having behavioral and/or emotional struggles. The work of the Special Education Facilitator position is not going away, it is being pushed on to the remaining special education team who have their own responsibilities to attend to. This cut will have a huge impact on all students and staff at all SVVSD schools.
