The committee itself has 14 subcommittees. Each contributes to one or more of the 30 implementation plans. The CDAs have five years to create the plans and put them into action. The board has approved two plans. 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.
