T.-2 21-1489 Adoption by the Board of Education of Resolution 2021-0159 - Ensuring Access to Social-Emotional and Academic Supports for Students with Disabilities.
Extracurricular activities (i.e., activities that take place outside of the classroom) provide a critical context for fostering the social inclusion of youth with disabilities and providing social/emotional support. Federal law (IDEA) explicitly ensures students with disabilities access to extracurricular activities. As stated in the proposed resolution, students with disabilities often require dedicated staff support and investment to access extracurricular social-emotional and academic support services. OUSD must have a process for planning, implementing, and monitoring the effectiveness of this support and investment.
