The Office of Special Education and Early Learning (OSEEL) Releases Guidance on Compensatory Education
The Office of Special Education and Early Learning (OSEEL) is excited to announce the release of guidance intended to help facilitate conversations around compensatory education for students with disabilities. The Admissions and Release Committee Guide to Free Appropriate Public Education and Compensatory Education includes a guide for Admissions and Release Committee (ARC) members and district staff, suggested guiding questions ARCs can use to help facilitate conversations around compensatory education, an example compensatory education log, and two resources designed to help parents participate in conversations about compensatory education.
OSEEL will be hosting two Teams LIVE events to discuss the compensatory education guidance. The first LIVE is designed for district staff and will be held on April 22nd at 10:00am EST. The second LIVE is designed for parents and will be held on April 22nd at 12:00pm EST alongside the Kentucky Special Parent Involvement Network (KY-SPIN). Both events will include a review of the guidance and an opportunity to ask questions.
