Each school establishes a School Consultation Team (SCT) to process referral requests for students suspected of having a disability. School personnel, parents, or another person may refer a student to this team. For students who are referred, the team will review the student’s education records and information about the student’s performance and make recommendations for meeting the student’s educational and behavioral needs. In reviewing the student’s performance, the school consultation team may develop a plan for targeted intervention and determine the student’s response to those interventions (RTI). The team will ensure that these interventions are documented, and that the use of these interventions do not unnecessarily delay a student’s evaluation for special education if such an evaluation is warranted based on the suspicion of a disability. If the student does not make appropriate progress using these interventions, the team may refer the student to the special education administrator for an evaluation to determine if the student needs special education and related services. The team may also determine that no team action is needed but can provide general recommendations and strategies to enhance the student’s classroom experience. As a member of the committee, the building principal or the designee (SCT Coordinator) receives all referrals to the team. Any action by the team will be documented in writing and must include the information on which the decision is based.

Please contact the school and ask to speak with the SCT Coordinator for more information.
