Releasing Special Education Records
From Michelle Colvin
The Special Education Cooperative is required by state reporting requirements to provide documentation when students with exceptionalities move or leave the district. This includes early childhood special education, gifted, and speech only students. Please forward a copy of all requests for records for students with exceptionalities to Jennifer Prock (jennifer.prock@kckps.org) in the Special Education Department. The fax number is 913-627-5688.
Schools should not release special education records.
The special education department maintains students??? ???official??? records. The records used by building-based special education staff are working files and do not necessarily include all required documents. The Special Education Department is required to authenticate all releases and requests for special education records and maintain a record of such requests.
Do not assume that if a request is placed in the 304 record that it will be forwarded to the Special Education. Department.
If you are contacted by a Special Education staff member regarding the disposition of student records, please make every effort to assist. In addition, be sure the leave code in SILK accurately states the school district and/or city and state to which the student has moved.
Please follow these guidelines throughout the school year.
If you have any questions about special education records or the process for releasing records, contact Jennifer Prock in the Special Education Records Department at 627-5674.

iObservation Updates
From Shelly Beech
We have received the updated system for iObservation and are currently updating the system with new hires information. We plan to have all updates completed by Wednesday, August 10. All new certified staff will receive an email from no-reply@effectiveeducators.com with their log in information for iObservation. All certified staff will complete a new growth plan for the year. This will be an integral part of their formal evaluation (if evaluated). If they are not evaluated this school year, a growth plan should still be completed in iObservation.
By Wednesday, you staff should be able to log in to iObservation and begin their growth plan process.
If you have any questions, please contact Taneka Brown at Taneka.brown@kckps.org (279-2414)
