BPS and the Boston Teachers Union announced a new tentative contract agreement which includes promised updates to policies around special education:
Officials with the BPS and the BTU have beenPolicies around special education were among the notable updates in the new contract. That's because the district will be making a major shift in the way it provides special education, by expanding its program that allows high needs students to learn alongside general education students.
"I’m proud of an agreement that supports our educators and takes concrete steps towards building a special education and inclusion model that will help us make Boston a city for everyone," Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said in a written statement. According to city officials, the tentative contract agreement also includes funding to support new staff who will provide additional support to students with IEPs and non-native English language speakers.
Among that new staff will be"inclusive education liaisons" who will help the district transition all schools to the inclusion school model. The tentative agreement also guarantees that teachers will have adequate planning time to"ensure that decisions regarding IEPs are made through a team process consistent with state and federal law," according to a BPS release.
The move is part of BPS's promise to state education officials to improve special education services. Previous
