INTERVENTION AND REFERRAL SERVICES (I&RS)
 
 

The Intervention & Referral Services (I&RS) committee is in place to help identify and provide additional support services to students whose educational performance or behavior negatively affects their academic, social, or emotional growth or physical well-being. The multidisciplinary team designs, implements and monitors intervention plans for such students.  The team convenes monthly and may include the following team members:

 

*School Counselor (Coordinator of the I&RS Committee)

*Building Administrator

*School Nurse

*Regular Education Teacher

*Special Education Teacher

*Member of the Child Study Team

The team also determines when students are eligible for protection under Section 504, which is a federal civil rights law that protects the rights of students with disabilities. A student must have an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity (i.e. walking, seeing, hearing, or learning), as compared to the average person of the same age, in order to be eligible for protection under Section 504.
