[quote=Anonymous]Did you all get the email about Office of Civil Rights and FCPS?

November 30, 2022

Dear FCPS Families, Students, and Community,

I want to make you aware of a news release that has been issued by the Office for Civil Rights regarding a Resolution Agreement that was reached with our division and the ongoing work with our students with disabilities, as it relates to the pandemic.

As a result of this agreement, FCPS will be convening Individualized Education Program (IEP) and Section 504 Plan meetings for all current students with disabilities to determine if compensatory services are warranted. The division will also offer IEP meetings and Section 504 Plan meetings to all students with disabilities who graduated or left the division during the Pandemic Period (April 14, 2020 - June 16, 2022).

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a learning disruption that impacted schools around the world as they tried to balance the need for health and safety to combat the transmission of the COVID virus while continuing to support students’ academic, social, and emotional growth. In an effort to ensure continued support for students during an unprecedented time, FCPS implemented temporary learning plans for all students with IEPs in April 2020.

As we emerge from the global pandemic, FCPS remains committed to working diligently to provide the support needed to ensure each and every student recovers from learning loss. FCPS has and will continue to leverage resources to ensure students with the greatest need receive prioritized support for enhanced outcomes. Please know that we will be working closely on this issue to make sure we have supports in place to accomplish the work laid out in this agreement.

You may read the OCR news release and our statement.

If you have a specific question about your student’s case, please email ocr2022resolution@fcps.edu.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michelle C. Reid
Superintendent[/quote]
