Appendix B: Teacher Responsibilities Low Incidence Equipment
The assigned teacher for the student(s) indicated in an approved Low Incidence Request form (DM 86A or 86B) must be notified of their responsibilities for the assigned low incidence item(s) purchased for use by the student. The teacher should be informed that unless the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team agrees there is an educational need for the student to use the equipment at his/her home and form DM 86C is completed, the student is not allowed to take the item(s) home. The item(s) is solely for the student(s) indicated on the Low Incidence Equipment Request form to meet his/her unique educational needs according to their IEP goals. RESPONSIBILITIES: 1. Complete an annual inventory of all low incidence items in the classroom - the DMCS will provide the Director of Special Education a list of low incidence items assigned to students in the classroom on an annual basis. The item(s) should have a blue and silver “Property of Desert Mountain Charter SELPA” numbered ID tag (except for small, untaggable items). If the item does not have an inventory tag, contact the DMCS office at (760) 552-6700. 2. Reassign the equipment to another student in his/her classroom or Local Education Agency (LEA) who qualifies for use of the item(s) purchased and is no longer being utilized to meet the unique educational needs of the assigned student, or return the item(s) to the DMCS and complete Section 3 of DM 86B (if mobile computing device, Section 2 of form DM 86B) for the reassignment or return of the item(s). Forward a copy of the form to the SELPA office. 3. If the student has moved to another site within the LEA and can still benefit from the use of the item(s), forward the item(s) and a copy of the original request form DM 86A (if mobile computing device, DM 86B) to the student’s new site/teacher. Inform the Desert Mountain SELPA by completing Section 3 of DM 86A (if mobile computing device, complete Section 2 of DM 86B) and forward a copy to the SELPA office. 4. If the student has moved outside the LEA and the LEA is unable to reassign the item to another low incidence eligible student, the teacher must return the item to the DMCS. Contact (760) 552-6700 to make arrangements for return of the item. Complete Section 3 of DM 86A (if mobile computing device, Section 2 of DM 86B) to return the item(s) to the DMCS. 5. If the item(s) was purchased for more than one student as indicated on Section 1 of DM 86A (if mobile computing device, DM 86B) and any of the conditions explained in items 3-5 above exist, the item may remain at your site/LEA as long as at least one low incidence eligible student still qualifies for use of the item. 6. Report any lost or broken equipment item(s) to the DMCS in writing to facilitate the replacement or repair of the item(s). ALL CHANGES REGARDING ANY LOW INCIDENCE EQUIPMENT/MATERIALS MUST BE COMMUNICATED IN WRITING TO THE DMCS OFFICE USING SECTION 1 OF THE LOW INCIDENCE REQUEST FORM.
