The Child Study Committee Meeting Process
Child Study Committee members will work using a collaborative, problem solving model. The
committee functions to:
• Clearly describe the student’s areas of weakness in a manner that is specific and
measurable.
• Analyze student achievement data as it relates to the areas of weakness.
• Create an action plan to address the identified weaknesses.
• Support the classroom teacher as he/she continues to instruct the student.
• Reconvene to evaluate the effectiveness and results of the action plan.
• Utilize student data to make recommendations regarding the need for additional
interventions or for a referral for evaluation to special education.

The Student Intervention Plan (CS-1) and the Referral to Child Study Committee (CS-2)
will provide relevant information on student performance and previous intervention
activities. Additionally, while preparing for the child study meeting, the classroom teacher
and designated administrator should consider:
• Recent achievement data
• Previous state and local assessment results
• Health records (request that the school nurse conduct vision and hearing
screenings, if appropriate, and investigate health concerns that appear to
impact learning or adjustment)
• Available confidential reports
• Attendance records
• Work samples and observation reports
