Special Education Program Analysis: Leadership for Implementing Change

Special education leaders face daily demands to operate quality programs, align with District initiatives, ensure student outcomes, and must pair their knowledge of program data with an understanding of special education fiscal issues, including budgeting, use of funds, and expenditure reporting. Collaboration requirements have increased as the demands on local and regional budgets continue to grow, and ensuring all levels of the organization are clear on the vision and direction of the special education program is critical. Special Education leaders need to form effective partnerships with Human Resources and Business Staff to complete complex tasks correctly and to have long-term fiscal sustainability for the special education program, and program staff need to be informed and supportive of program initiatives and expectations.

Join us as we share an overview of critical data points to monitor, information and resources to support budgeting and tracking of special education data, revenues, and program metrics through the lens of a unified school district special education leader overseeing systemic growth and change. We will share local, ongoing data analysis, work in progress to develop and align the special education program with District strategic and mandated plans and place them in the context of successful partnership development and planning at all levels. Participants will walk away with strategies to undertake an analysis of their local special education program and start collaborative conversations with critical partners in their district.
