Classroom Inclusion Clause Samples

Classroom Inclusion. A classroom teacher who provides a service to students with special needs shall be included as a member of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team. A teacher who is a member of an IEP team shall be notified of IEP meetings and shall attend. Every effort shall be made to schedule these meetings within the regular work day. It is understood that the terms of the IEP must be followed by the regular education teacher, whether or not the teacher has participated in the IEP writing process and has signed the IEP. Teachers who service any student(s) whose education is directed by an IEP or a Section 504 Plan shall be notified prior to the first day of school of the students’ name(s) and required classroom modifications. Teachers of students newly enrolled shall be notified as soon as possible. The only exception shall be if such documents are sealed by court order. The Board and the Association agree that administering medication and providing custodial care to students shall not be the routine task of teachers. In an emergency situation, teachers who have been appropriately trained may be assigned to do so.
