[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two out of two sped teachers are leaving?  They have only been there a couple of years.  Why the huge turnover?[/quote]

It is DCPS. Teacher turnover is pretty common. There are only 2 special education teachers because few students at Key have IEPs at all.

What grade will you child be in and do they have an IEP now? How many hours are in your current plan?[/quote]

Wow -  I can not imagine only having 2 Special Education teachers in a school that goes from PreK4 - 5th grade and is a large as Key.   [/quote]

There are 438 students at Key. 8% have IEPs - so about 34 students.

Of course we have no idea what their IEPs are for or how many hours with a special ed teacher they need. Some may need no time with a special ed teacher but instead need 4 hours a week with a speech therapist or time with a psychologist. Some may need 1-2 hours with a special ed teacher a week.

But special ed staffing is dictated by the IEP hours in the aggregate.
