FCPS Special Education Department Chair Meeting Video Presentation
This post features videos, video chats, and slide shows related to Fairfax County Public Schools special education instruction.
It includes information about IEP development, too, such as Lourrie Duddridge correcting the use of the PLOP page for present levels instead of a place used to document meeting minutes. At about the 1:54:56 time mark, of a 9.21.21 training session Duddridge states:
“We’ve been looking at a lot of present level of performance pages (PLOPS) and we need to just remind everybody that those documents are really for documenting the student’s present level of performance. How are they doing in their educational environment and what we propose as a team, and that those statements are written in objective measurable terms, and that we’re using appropriate data on those pages. What the page is not for is summaries of what happened–minutes of the meeting. And we’re seeing a lot of that on our present level of performance pages and what it does is clutter the IEP, and then we get present level of performance pages that are 20 pages long, because we have documented so much stuff that really isn’t relevant to the proposal itself.”

Thank you again for this information. I wonder if your blog is shared with FCPS PTA groups as a parent resource.
Katy, Thanks for your comment. I’ve been advised that FCPS and its lawyers are aware of the blog, and that some people are not happy about its existence. My hope is that the PTAs will share, but one never knows. Best, Callie
