09:05:45	 From  Marlena Barker-Willow Springs R-IV Schools : Does this include residential facility placements?
09:08:15	 From  Zack Danner : So do you have an example of the process you would use when a parent comes in and signs the homeschool declaration?
09:12:13	 From  Marlena Walley : There is a form letter out there that parents are using which states that they are homeschooling but that they are “revoking their consent for the district to provide special needs services to their child”.  How would you interpret this?
09:14:51	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : Marlena, the letter says that they are revoking consent for special education services?
09:15:20	 From  926239 : We’ve never asked a homeschool student how they are receiving their homeschool education (virtual or not virtual). Should we be asking this of our families?
09:15:22	 From  Clarissa Beyer : To what lengths do we figure out that information?
09:15:27	 From  Amber Forbis : Which would mean that all services would be provided virtually in this instance? 
09:16:10	 From  Dana Welch - DESE : Marlena, I would say that parents should not be signing that letter and LEAs should not be using a letter that has that phrase.
09:16:15	 From  Kim Hart : Can Bev explain that again?  The agreement
09:23:06	 From  Dr. Terrell : There are a couple. I do know of a private virtual school located in parkway school district.
09:25:43	 From  vhollis : We created a homeschool form that includes a question at the bottom: does your child receive special services? yes/no. If yes, then they continue one more section at the bottom with if they want to continue receiving or no.
09:26:15	 From  jjacobson : If a student is MOCAP,  are they still enrolled with us, and are still under the IEP, or an ISP and porp share, ?
09:26:52	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : Mo-CAP students are still enrolled in your district and served through an IEP.
09:27:17	 From  jjacobson : Thank you. I thought so :)
09:28:54	 From  Stacey Reed - Rolla 31 : Example - parent is paying $25 per month to homeschool using Acellus.  Acellus is located in Kansas City and claims to be a non-profit. So, since Acellus is located in KC - Kansas City is on the hook for providing an ISP if the parent wants the child to have services yet the child resides here? Or we the district of residency would provide the ISP? If it's KC, that's a nightmare for them.
09:29:46	 From  Deenia Hocker : If a student eligible for services lives in my district but is enrolled and attends a private school in another district, am I responsible for holding a consultation meeting with that private school?
09:30:24	 From  Dana Welch - DESE : vhollis- a standard practice does make life easier. You can use a district made form for this as long as you don't have a phrase alluding to revoking consent for the district to provide special needs services to their child.
09:32:11	 From  Clarissa Beyer : But if we did have that discussion and it was decided at the meeting that we wouldn't use money on technology, for instance, do we have to discuss it again?
09:32:15	 From  AprilPhillips : so if we have 0 money but we have some students that are homeschooled this year, we just turn in the numbers of students later?
09:32:31	 From  Dana Welch - DESE : vhollis - clarify: revoking just by signing and not revoking by informed decision being made
09:32:53	 From  Melynda Van Note : I do not have any funds this year. In the past I have allowed parents to bring their child to the school during the day to be included in a current speech therapy group or OT group.  Would you consider this appropriate?
09:33:11	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : Deenia, the public school in which the private school is located is responsible for inviting private school representatives to their consultation meetings. The public school where the private school is located is responsible for proportionate share services for students enrolled at that private school regardless of where the student resides.
09:35:04	 From  Annie Knox : Do the parochial schools have to be registered through the state or DESE as a legitimate parochial school to fall under prop share funds?
09:38:59	 From  amanda : If my provider travels to a private home to provide speech services, can I pay her mileage out of prop share money?
09:40:17	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : Annie Knox: I am not aware of any DESE private school registry. The private school has to meet the definition of a not-for-profit Elementary School. The definition of an Elementary School serving K-12 Services is in the Missouri State Plan for Special Education. Regulation I page 6.
09:41:49	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : Amanda: are services being provided through a service plan?
09:43:12	 From  amanda : I'm not sure.  This is a new case that was just referred to us from our Amish community.  We are just trying to figure out logistics, as they aren't really wanting to bring their student into our school for services.
09:43:37	 From  Gary Murphy : 1. The student signed home school papers last year- they won't answer phone calls, won't come in for services (OT, PT, academic).  We have been documenting attempts.  Will there be a time when we are able to stop attempting to provide services?  We have made many, many attempts and will continue to do so.  2.  Student was a virtual learner when virtual was offered.  The district offers MO-CAP but the student didn't participate in virtual at all.  We sent lessons and zoom attempts but student (kdg) didn't participate.  We held 4 IEP meetings to bring student back to school.  Parents and school developed plan together but there was no follow through.  When virtual was no longer offered through Covid, family applied for MOCAP.  District denied that request since student didn't participate at all in virtual for one year.  Student hasn't attended school this year.  Parent is trying to find virtual option.  The child was in pre-k two years and now kdg.  His attendance has always been an extreme issue prior to covid
09:44:01	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : Amanda: so the student is not enrolled at the public school?
09:44:13	 From  amanda : No.
09:46:07	 From  926239 : What if there is a dispute as to wether or not the school meets the definition? Who resolves this?
09:47:42	 From  Clarissa Beyer : So, they can be in the preschool program, but the school has a kindergarten program and we can offer services? Even if they are not in the kindergarten program? But are kindergarten age....
09:48:26	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : Amanda: then the only time a provider would go to the home to provides services would be to implement proportionate share services through a service plan. I recommend you review DESE Special Education Finance guidance for spending proportionate share funds. I'll find a link and drop it into a chat.
09:49:01	 From  Amber Forbis : Can you say again how we access these presentations? 
09:49:50	 From  Laura Weaver - Director of Special Services : How do you determine the need for a personal paraprofessional?
09:49:52	 From  Teresa Tanner : Do you have a Service Plan example?
09:50:22	 From  Amy Phipps : Most IEP programs have an ISP in their platform
09:50:49	 From  Dana Welch - DESE : To access the presentations: https://dese.mo.gov/special-education/effective-practices/special-education-directors
09:50:55	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : Link to DESE web page for PPPS info: https://dese.mo.gov/special-education/parentally-placed-private-school-children
09:51:45	 From  thomasn : Any updates on the recording of IEP meetings guidance?
09:53:33	 From  Ellen Britt- Ralls Co. R2 SPED : Can a Behavior Plan for an ED student override SW-PBS plans/expectations? We have a few ED students who are missing out on quarterly incentives.
09:54:54	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : The statute about recording IDEA and 504 meetings does not name DESE as an agency having regulatory authority over the statute.
09:54:59	 From  Kim Short : Can those checklists for personal paras be shared?
09:55:09	 From  Laura Weaver - Director of Special Services : I'd love to get those checklists.  Thanks for the great answer on the personal para!
09:56:20	 From  Laura McComb : Is this powerpoint presentation available somewhere to refer back to as the year progresses? Thanks!

09:58:02	 From  Amber Forbis : I have a question about calculating "Total Minutes" on an IEP...do we have time for that? 
09:58:26	 From  Bev Luetkemeyer - MO DESE Compliance : The power point and other resources will be posted on this page under Topic Resources: https://dese.mo.gov/special-education/effective-practices/special-education-directors
09:58:32	 From  Amber Forbis : When calculating minutes for an elementary student, is it only classroom minutes that get counted?
09:58:40	 From  Amber Forbis : Yes, for placement purposes
09:59:22	 From  Amber Forbis : They are in the building for 1920 per day, but they get 60 minutes of recess, and about 60 minutes of meals, do those two hours come off of the total minutes
10:00:30	 From  Amber Forbis : No...just in general for all our students. Just want to make sure our total minutes are correct on IEPs. 
10:00:34	 From  Amber Forbis : That makes sense now. 
10:00:50	 From  Amber Forbis : Yes
10:00:55	 From  Amber Forbis : Is it different for high school?
10:01:17	 From  Amber Forbis : Or is high school also from first bell of the day to last bell?
10:01:57	 From  Tammy Prewitt : Teach Town
