An Individual Education Plan (IEP) management system has supported teachers, therapists and psychologists in organizing, writing and managing compliance in relation to meeting the requirements of the individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). The current system being used (SEAS) addresses all of the regulatory needs of both State and Federal Guidelines. The forms within the system mirror the ADE forms and have proven to be very effective in terms of staff efficiency. Training time on the use of the current automated IEP system began five years ago and is on-going as new staff joins SUSD. This training has also benefited anyone who needed additional support in navigating the documents within the system. To remain consistent with the use of SEAS is a benefit to staff, a savings in time and funding for new training and an assurance that compliance will continue to improve with consistent program use.
