  • Enhanced ability to manage special education requirements and timelines.
  • Increased communication and collaboration across all staff.
  • Timely response and resolution to compliance related matters.

Possible Areas of Focus

The CSDE is providing limited funding for the establishment of these new models which will allow some districts the opportunity to participate at no cost through a competitive grant application process and/or by state selection. CAS will also provice coaches with special education expertise as requested by a district at the daily CAS coaching rate.
