Procedures for Referral to the Child Study Committee
If the classroom teacher determines that the implementation of the Student Intervention
Plan (Tier 1 interventions) did not result in significant improvement, he/she will follow the
procedures below for referring a student to the Child Study Committee.
Typically it is the classroom teacher who was responsible for implementing the Student
Intervention Plan (CS-1) who will refer a student to the Child Study Committee. However,
a parent, guardian, student, or others including the SEA or a state agency may initiate a
referral to the Child Study Committee. With the exception of emergency situations, this
practice should be discouraged, and an attempt made to follow pre-child study procedures
prior to the referral to the Child Study Committee.
Step 1 Classroom Teacher鈥檚 Role (or other referring source)
The teacher will complete the Referral to Child Study Committee (CS-2) and submit to the
appropriate school administrator or his/her designee with a copy of the completed
Student Intervention Plan (CS-1), supporting documents, and student performance data.
Step 2 Principal鈥檚 Role (or designee)
The principal/ designee shall notify the student鈥檚 parents or legal guardian of the referral
to Child Study Committee using the Notice of Child Study Meeting letter. While parent
permission is not required to initiate the child study process, parents will be invited and
encouraged to participate in the child study process. Parents must be notified in their
native language if they are not fluent in English or in another mode of communication if
they are not able to read.
Parents will be provided an opportunity to attend the meeting at a mutually agreed upon
date and time. A record of notices and contacts informing the parent of the meeting must
be maintained in the student鈥檚 educational record, Part 1.
The principal or designee will schedule the child study meeting and inform appropriate
members of the Child Study Committee.
A Child Study Committee meeting must be held within 10 business days from the date of
the Referral to Child Study Committee (CS-2).
