[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But I think Bridge's preference is only for kids with more significant special needs (as measured by hours of services in their IEPs).  If CMI's SN kids get an hour of OT a week and preferential seating, and Bridge's kids need 1:1 aides, assistive communications devices, and PT daily then even having a smaller % of SN kids could still require a lot more effort and money.[/quote]

How do they ensure that with a lottery? What if they get kids who need more? [/quote]

Any school that offers the SN preference has to hold capacity for children who don't yet have IEPs or whose needs increase to that level. It is complicated - and the planning process required is quite detailed.

The school also has to have a well thought out plan for how it will measure and track those students progress since PARCC may not be an appropriate measurement. There's a lot of hoops to go through to get permission to use it and more monitoring too, which seems appropriate.[/quote]
