Cleveland High School has a Building
Screening Committee (BSC) whose responsibility is
to implement general education interventions. Our BSC is a
safety net to help students’ grades 9-12. It is the
follow-up process for those students identified by the vision
and hearing screenings, state assessments, or classroom teacher.
It does not replace staff “problem solving” of
a more informal nature.
The BSC develops intervention plans to help
students struggling with academics or behavior in the classroom.
For example, if the issue is behavior, the BSC may ask for
data and suggest ways to lower student/teacher frustration
or change surroundings. For an academic concern, the team
may brainstorm ideas for changing instruction methods, adapting
curriculum, or changing the environment. All interventions
are designed to help the student progress in the general education
curriculum.
The BSC process should be used before a student
is referred to the special education evaluation planning team
(which decides if a special education evaluation should be
conducted). Under the following three circumstances, the student
should be referred directly to the special education evaluation
planning team: (1) staff can show that such interventions
would not be enough to address the concerns (2) staff clearly
suspect that a child has a disability and needs specially
designed instruction as a result of the disability; or (3)
the parents request and give written consent for an initial
evaluation and the special education evaluation planning team
has agreed to conduct an evaluation.
