3. Students enrolled in special education programs will be afforded hybrid instruction featuring a combination of onsite and remote/virtual instruction.

4. The district will ensure collaboration between committees on preschool special education/committees on special education and program providers representing the variety of settings where students are served to ensure there is an understanding of the provision of services consistent with the recommendations on/individualized education programs, plans for monitoring and communicating student progress and commitment to sharing resources.

5. Access to the necessary accommodations, modifications, supplementary aids and services, and technology (including assistive technology) to meet the unique disability-related needs of students shall be maintained and monitored, regardless of the method of instruction.

6. Related services (such as speech, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and counseling) shall be provided to students consistent with their IEP’s.  These services will be offered onsite, via a hybrid model, or remotely, as applicable.
