62. 62 Chapter 408 & SESIS For IEPs done in SESIS (only finalized IEPs): Teachers and related service providers must have access to SESIS and a list of their students with IEPs. Use Gen Ed Guide to SESIS & the New IEP to help teachers get familiar with SESIS. (Paras must be given hard copies of IEPs because they do not yet have access to SESIS).
For IEPs not done in SESIS: Teachers & related service providers must be given hard copies of the students’ IEPs.
Be a resource and help Gen Ed teachers get comfortable with SESIS and reading the new IEP.
Be sure that teachers sign that they have read their students’ IEPs.
