[quote=Anonymous]Schools can and do get more staffing during the school year once they hit a threshold to staff another special education teacher. I'm an APS sped teacher. We have hired part time teachers during the school year multiple times since I've been here (at another APS N Arl elementary school).

I've never in my entire career in APS been told there is any sort of quota for identifying to been told directly or implied that a student should not be evaluated because we already had X numbers of students with disabilities or didn't have the staff to add another student to a caseload. I can't even imagine that happening and would never be okay with that professionally. We take teacher and parent concerns about students very seriously but it is true that if a parent puts in a request to evaluate it gets more immediate action. If a teacher is concerned there is a student study process that first uses the RTI/ATSS process to provide intervention before moving to testing in most cases.[/quote]
