BOSSIER PARISH SPECIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

http://www.bossierschools.org/sped

The Bossier Parish School System offers a wide variety of programs that are destined to provide quality education, which will equip all students to function at their highest potential in a complex and changing society. Opportunities for services are provided to students beginning at the preschool level (age 3-5) and continuing through the age of 21.

Placement and services flow from the needs of the students identified through a referral process that includes a multidisciplinary evaluation (MDE) which provides the foundation for the development of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) prior to making a placement decision for participation in one or more of the Special Education programs.

As stated in Louisiana's Educational Rights of Children with Disabilities, "A student with a disability is entitled to receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE)". Our department works diligently with parish staff to ensure FAPE by providing student programs and services, many of which are listed below:

What is CLIP?

College Life Is Possible, or CLIP, is a collaborative partnership between the Bossier Parish School System and Bossier Parish Community College.  CLIP is designed for students with significant cognitive disabilities who have completed 4 years of high school. The program is located on BPCC’s campus presenting students with an opportunity to be educated in a college environment alongside their peers. The goal of CLIP is to prepare students for independent living and employment.

The educational environment in CLIP raises the standards of expectations to one similar to that of their peers. Students spend a portion of their day engaged in challenging academic curriculum that addresses self determination skills such as goal setting, decision making, and problem solving. The CLIP curriculum also addresses independent life skills such as money management and social skills. Finally, employability skills related to interviews, filling out job applications, and career awareness are addressed.

Another portion of a CLIP student’s day is spent in a community vocational internship.  CLIP is currently partnered with several businesses in the Bossier area including Willis Knighton Hospital and Red River Sanitors at The Louisiana Boardwalk.  CLIP offers students a wide variety of opportunities in numerous career areas for different job experiences.

Child tending (grades K-6 only) – both parents/guardians must work full-time outside the home and child tending must be full-time for students in grades K-6.  (Y.E.P. will not be considered a child tender for out-of-district transfer.)

Bossier Parish School Board employee privilege – the requested school must be the primary place of employment or a feeder school in the same attendance district.

Family hardship – family hardship is an event or circumstance that places a student in jeopardy physically, mentally or academically.  A student’s after-school work, a childcare concern, or participation in school co-curricular or extracurricular activities shall not be considered as family hardships.

Medical reasons – A letter from a physician (M.D.) is required, stating the specific medical diagnosis, length of time the student has been seen by the physician, date of last physician’s visit for    the problem and the specific reason(s) why the student cannot attend his/her neighborhood school.

Senior privilege – Senior privilege applies only to continued attendance at the school where the student completed the junior year.

Intervention – Intervention is a special transfer that requires a recommendation from appropriate school/district officials.

Out-of-district transfer applications must be submitted to the Supervisor of Special Programs for approval, and approval must be granted prior to enrollment.  You must contact the Bossier Parish School Board Students Services for all registration forms.  All registration forms are maintained at Student Services located in the Bossier Parish School Board Annex II located adjacent to the School Board Office in Benton, LA.  For additional information, please email Ms. Judy Wilcox (Judy.Willcox@bossierschools.org) or call (318) 549-5040 Bossier Parish Schools, to complete the appropriate forms.  Please read all forms and handbooks to ensure continued compliance.  In order to determine the cumulative effect of transfers, the Bossier Parish School Board requires all transfers to be submitted by the third (3rd) Monday in July, with the exception of majority to minority transfers.  Majority to minority applications shall be submitted by the last student attendance day of the school year.  Only bona fide emergency transfers shall be considered after that date.  Transportation shall not be provided for out-of-district transfer students except for reason #1.
