Summary: In July 2012, MDUSD was identified as Significantly Disproportionate for the over-identification of African American students for Emotional Disturbance. As such, MDUSD is responsible for creating a Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS) Plan outlining how the district will address disproportionality and will re-allocate 15% of existing Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funds for the 2014-2015 school year to support this effort. Within the Plan, we have identified six Pilot Schools to provide direct support to the target group of students. These counseling positions will support the target group of students at our six pilot schools.
Funding: These six positions are being funded from the 15% of the IDEA funds that has been re-allocated. Budget Code: 3141.
