Shared Staffing. None of the nine states had formal policies in place regarding shared staffing between the school for the deaf and the rest of the K-12 public school system during work shortages. Two states, however, described examples of shared staffing in practice: ▪ Colorado – In rural areas, where public schools have difficulty recruiting and retaining deaf educators, LEAs contract with the school for deaf for outreach teachers. ▪ Iowa – For the past 15 years, the school for the deaf and the Area Education Agency (AEA) that surrounds it have jointly shared staff – i.e., three school for the deaf teachers work in K-12 settings and a school psychologist and audiologist from the AEA are assigned to the school for the deaf. A third state, Arkansas, is considering the possibility of instituting “rotationals” where a teacher from the school for the deaf would rotate out to the public schools for a period of six to eight weeks and vice versa. Placement Eight of the nine states (AR, AZ, IA, MI, NJ, OH, PA, VA) reported that initial placement at the state school for the deaf was determined by the student’s district of residence during Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings. Most of these states reported that placement was based on least restrictive environment (LRE) and/or instructional need. The ninth state, Colorado, reported that placement was determined either by the students’ IEP team or as a result of parental choice.5 In Colorado, if the placements result from parental choice, parents are responsible for paying transportation costs to and from the school for the deaf. Several states reported that representatives from the school for the deaf attend IEP meetings whenever the school for the deaf was being considered as a placement option. Arkansas and Colorado reported that, because the schools for the deaf in their states primarily use American Sign Language (ASL), students who access communication via signed English and/or oral approaches are generally not considered appropriate candidates for placement in these facilities. State Role One of the major trends observed in the course of this analysis, was the shifting role of many state-operated schools for the deaf from more insular stand-alone entities to statewide resources providing leadership to the rest of the K-12 public school system, usually in the form of technical assistance (TA) and outreach to LEAs and/or participation by school representatives in state- wide task forces and advisory boards.
