Dear Colleagues:

To conserve resources and cover all applicable information, the Procedural Safeguards booklets for students (K-18) and (18-21) have been combined into one publication.  Also, this year, the shipment procedures for Procedural Safeguards are different from last year, as the Department of Education looks at new ways of conserving resources and working  more efficiently with our District partners.

This falls' shipment will contain the total number of booklets, including translations, that ODE will ship.  Districts will make their own arrangements to provide any additional copies needed throughout the year rather than ordering them from ODE,

ODE used the following district/program data to determine the number  of booklets in each shipment:

1)    December 2012 child count (SECC);

2)    Child Find and Discipline Incident numbers and

3)    a 10% overage.

In 2012-2013, ODE paid for production of 519,000 booklets, although Oregon only has approximately 85,400 students, ages birth-21 years of age who receive special education services. We believe that basing the shipment quantity on specific district/program data will be a better use of resources for both ODE and its partners, and we appreciate your support of these changes.

Translations are available in Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Vietnamese.  The July 2013 version and its translated versions are posted to the ODE website at
http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=261.  If you have questions on the changes, please contact Stella Brown at stella.brown at state.or.us<mailto:stella.brown at state.or.us> or 503-947-5643.
