Hundreds of Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) students will participate in the 16th Annual African American Male Summit on Jan. 20 at Frank W. Cox High School. Boys in grades six through 12 will share ideas with each other and with adult community members on topics such as student leadership, community involvement, relationship-building, and physical and mental well-being.

Special Education

The special education process includes identification, referral and screening, evaluation, eligibility, IEP/placement and triennial reevaluation. This process begins when a referral from a parent, teacher, physician or another interested person is received by the school. At this time, a school-based team reviews all the available information and determines whether or not there is enough information to suspect that a student has a disability. This school-based team has 10 administrative working days in which to meet and reach a decision as to whether or not a student needs a comprehensive evaluation.

Timelines:

Referral to Screening Meeting

 

10 Administrative Days

Referral for a Comprehensive Evaluation to Eligibility Meeting 65 Administrative Days
Eligibility to Initial Individualized Education Program Meeting 30 Calendar Days
Annual Review of the Individualized Education Program 1 year
Reevaluation of Student Eligibility Every Three (3) Years
