The third plan is now before the board. Subcommittees meet at least once a month to work on their plans. Each plan goes through several drafts before it gets subcommittee approval. During this drafting stage, any interested person or organization may comment. To encourage parents to take part in the process, meetings include dinner and a short training program.
Interpreters are always on hand so everyone can take part.
Draft plans are translated into the languages of all those taking part in the process. Teachers and administrators, and interested members of the community, also serve on the subcommittees. Each subcommittee elected a chair, who must be the parent of a student with a disability, and a co-chair. Together, these chairs and co-chairs make up the executive committee. The executive committee chose 20 parents of students with disabilities to serve as the class member review committee.
