Another in-pool notification?

[Anonymous]

Just got a second "Universal Screener Referral" after previously receiving one in December (same kid). This one is much lighter on the details. Seems odd, anyone know what this might be about?

Just a reminder to let your school disclose if your child has an IEP or 504 - because if you don’t the screening committee won’t know/isn’t allowed to ask.

Mine says the following

“ If you would like the school to share information about your student’s learning disability, accommodations, or a segment of your student’s IEP or 504 Plan, please email the AART and principal of your school to provide written consent.”

Did people with no IEPs get this notice?

Does it benefit the child to disclose an IEP? Would it help the applicant?

Generally, yes. It provides a more complete picture. It allows them to better see where that IEP instance may have led to discrepencies they may see. (for example, ADHD child's recording 2's in the beginning areas of the report card such as working well with others)

Fairfax County does a lot to tout its ability to identify and work with "Twice Exceptional" students, which would include any AAP student with an IEP.

I really don't see a down-side in allowing them to share (from an admissions point of view).

We don't care about DEI anymore, PP, didn't you know?

The Federal Government doesn't. Democratic bastions like FCPS school board will double down on it even more as a reaction to Dep of Education attacks. Regardless of what side you affiliate with, grab some popcorn and get ready for another interesting fight! I can't wait to sift through political emails to find the actual school related content I need.

DOE grants (e.g. Title I, etc) can be withdrawn if FCPS decides to flout the new rules about DEI.

Yes, I got one, but my child doesn't have IEP.

IEP and DEI are completely different and unrelated. IEP is about special education of disabled children.

A thousand percent. 504s and IEPs are (normally) about a medical diagnosis - like dyslexia, cognitive processing delays, or ADHD. Students can also have IEPs if they have a disability that has nothing to do with academics. It was just a reminder to all families. And it didn’t say that you MUST disclose it, just that if you want to disclose it you have to provide your approval in writing to your school. Get that chip off your shoulder.

Normally no..but read the DEI Executive Order…it includes “accessibility” which in some agencies at least is being interpreted as anything disability related….(which is why federal disability related websites are being taken down)

Yup it is DEIA the A is for accessibility and they mean disability accommodations (many which are protected by law but with this admin, they don’t really care).
