Training SLD Eligibility for Special Education 2017-2018 New Hires
The Utah State Office of Education has provided new eligibility rules for determining if a student qualifies for special education services under the classification of Specific Learning Disability (SLD). Based on these changes, we have developed a series of tools and guidance to support these new rules. We would like to invite the special education team members from your schools to attend the training module for this new process. We will provide full-day sub coverage for those staff members that need a sub. Please use budget code 1292 when requesting a sub. We appreciate your willingness to allow your teams to have this critical information.
