a. If the special education student receives specific accommodations in the classroom, that student may be entitled to the same accommodations in a testing situation and modified grades.
b. The IEP team determines what accommodations and modifications are appropriate and are specified in the IEP and clearly communicated to all teachers.
c. Modified grades are not based on student special education status or placement and are available to all students, not just students with disabilities.
d. Identification of a modified grade on report cards and transcripts is permissible as long as the student is not identified as a student with a disability and such reporting is available to all students.
Are special education students eligible to participate in the Intensive Instructional or Summer Program if they are at risk of or are being retained?
Yes, however, a student may not participate in two programs at once, for example, Extended School Year under IDEA and the Summer School Program under E.C. § 37252.5 .
If a student requires a related service (DIS) during the regular instructional day, are those related services required during supplemental instruction, and, does the DIS provider need to be present? Yes and No. The IEP team will determine what related services are necessary and when. However, in making that decision teams should be aware that IDEA does not guarantee the best educational program, merely a “floor of opportunity” to participate and benef it from the educational program.
