asbestos inspections, reinspections, surveillance, response actions and post-response action
activities at least once a year.
The most recent Asbestos Reinspection is
available in the district office for public viewing during business

A+ SCHOOLS PROGRAM
Students in grades 9-12 that have not signed an agreement
for the A+ Schools Program are encouraged to do so as soon as possible.

student with the agreement. Please feel free to call or email me with any

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
SURROGATE PARENT PROGRAM
Pursuant to the requirements of state law 162.997-999-RSMo, the
State Board of Education is required to appoint a surrogate parent as such time
as it becomes evident that a child with a disability does not have a parent or
a person acting as a parent to participate in matters dealing with the
provision of special education. For purposes of surrogate parent
appointment, “parent” is defined as a
biological parent, a guardian, or a person acting as a parent of a child
including, but not limited to, a grandparent, a step parent, or a foster parent with whom the child lives. The
term does not include the State if the child is a ward of the State. The
term does not include a person whose
parental rights have been terminated.
The local school district is given the
responsibility to determine when a child with a disability who requires
special education and who resides in
the District is without a parent. The District must notify the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education of
the need to appoint a surrogate
parent. Training for persons serving as surrogate parents will be
provided by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and
the District.
If you are interested in volunteering to serve as a surrogate parent, more
information can be obtained from the Districts’ surrogate parent contact
person—the person responsible for the District’s special education program.
PUBLIC NOTICE
All responsible public agencies are required to locate, evaluate,
and identify children with disabilities who are under the jurisdiction of the
agency, regardless of the severity of the disability, including children
attending private schools, children who live outside the district but are
attending a private school within the district, highly mobile children, such as
migrant and homeless children, and children who are wards of the state, and
children who are suspected of having a disability and in need of special
education even though they are advancing from grade to grade. The Adair
County R-II School District assures that it will provide a free, appropriate
public education (FAPE) to all eligible children with disabilities between the
ages of 3 and 21 under its jurisdiction. Disabilities include autism,
deaf/blindness, emotional disorders, hearing impairment and deafness, mental
retardation/intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, orthopedic
impairment, other health impairments, specific learning disabilities, speech or
language impairment, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment/blindness and
young child with a developmental delay.
The Adair County R-II School District assures that it will provide
information and referral services necessary to assist the State in the
implementation of early intervention services for infants and toddlers eligible
for the Missouri First Steps program.
The Adair County R-II School District assures that personally
identifiable information collected, used, or maintained by the agency for the
purposes of identification, evaluation, placement or provision of FAPE of
children with disabilities may be inspected and/or reviewed by their
parents/guardians. Parents/guardians may request an amendment to the
educational record if the parent/guardian believes the record is inaccurate, misleading, or violates the
privacy or other rights of their child. Parents have the right to file
complaints with the U.S. Department of Education or the Missouri Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education concerning alleged failures by the district
to meet the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA).
The Adair County R-II School District has developed a Local
Compliance Plan for the implementation of State Regulations for the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This plan contains the agency’s
policies and procedures regarding storage, disclosure to third parties,
retention and destruction of personally identifiable information and the
agency’s assurances that services are provided in compliance with the General
Education Provision Act (GEPA). This plan may be reviewed during regular
school hours on days school is in session in the Office of the Superintendent
of Schools.
This notice will be provided in native languages as appropriate.
HOMELESS STUDENTS
If you are homeless and
going to school, let the school know about it. Being homeless and going
to school would be hard for any child regardless of age or grade level.
Many things that you normally would not have worried about before become issues,
such as transportation, space to do homework and school attendance. Some
families are afraid to let their child’s school know that they are in between places for fear of being
judged or, even worse, being reported to DFS.
There are some things
you should know about being homeless and going to public school:
·There are laws that protect your child’s rights
and your rights as a parent to be treated as any other participant of the Adair County R-II School.
·The school district has a program to help
homeless families with resources to help your child stay on track and can direct you to agencies that can help you
during your period of homeless ness.
·It is your choice to let the school district
know that you are homeless.
·The school district, like any other agency that
mandates reports, must have a reason to call
DFS. Homelessness, depending on the circumstances, is not grounds
to make a DFS report.
Homeless students
have the right to:
·Be enrolled without a birth certificate,
immunization record or other required documentation.
·Attend the school that he/she attended before
the family lost its home.
·Be transferred to a school closer to where
he/she is staying now.
·Get assistance with free transportation to and
from school.
·Have access to materials such as books and
supplies to ensure an equal opportunity to participate in school.
·Receive any special services that he/she might
need. These services include:
1.
Special education
2.
Bilingual services
3.
Gifted and talented education services
4.
Free lunch and breakfast program
5.
Counseling services
6.
Before and after school programs
7.
Tutoring services
·Attend school free of judgment.
Parents and guardians
of homeless children have the right to:
·Be involved in your child’s education.
·Be notified of and involved in any decision that
your child’s school makes regarding his or her
social or academic career.
·Request a Student Alert team meeting for your
child and include people of support. These may
be a social worker or counselor from an agency you are working with or
someone that has tutored your
child at an after school program.
