Stakeholder's Committee

Fulton County Services for Exceptional Children Stakeholders Purpose

 

The Georgia Department of Education through the Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act (IDEIA) and state rule requires that Fulton County Schools has a Stakeholders Committee to support our planning process.

 

Stakeholders represent all parties with an interest in improving results for students with disabilities.  Local stakeholder committees typically include nine to fifteen members and reflect the ethnic and cultural makeup of the local community. Approximately one-third of the membership should be parents of students with disabilities, advocates, and/or students with disabilities.  Recommended members may include the following:

• Parents (of students with and without disabilities)
• Principals
• Teachers (general education and special education)
• Babies Can’t Wait/Early Intervention representative
• Vocational Rehabilitation representative
• Related service providers
• School counselor/social worker
• Curriculum specialist
• School psychologist
• Title I representative or School Improvement specialist
• Advocacy group representative
• PTA representative
• College/university representative
• Georgia Learning Resources System (GLRS) representative
• Child Care/Pre-K representative
• Local board of education representative
• State operated program representative (hospitals, state schools, Department of Juvenile Justice)

The responsibility of the Stakeholder Committee is to assist in the development of the district’s improvement activities.  The Stakeholder Committee determines the school district’s current status by reviewing the District Data Profile, selecting improvement priorities, developing improvement activities, and then ensuring the implementation of the activities.  The Stakeholder Committee meets as needed to:

• Review improvement activity progress by assessing the effectiveness of the interventions implemented
• Review the updated District Data Profile and additional data the district has collected for analysis
• Revise the improvement activities as necessary
• Expand the improvement activities to include additional Georgia performance indicators

 Stakeholder Committee members may be interviewed during a Focused Monitoring review by the Georgia Department of Education.
