Assignment to a Special Education Case Manager and Academic Advisement. Upon receiving medical clearance, offenders are moved from the quarantined custody of the Reception and Diagnostic Unit into their housing assignment. Offenders under the age of 21 who are in the eligibility verification process or who have been determined to be eligible to receive special education services are enrolled or have been offered enrollment in the corrections school by their assigned special education case manager and guidance staff. The offender, special education case manager, and guidance staff meet for preliminary academic advisement and assignment into appropriate classes based on achievement test screening data or upon criterion referenced placement tests. This initial, informal meeting is an opportunity for the special education case manager and guidance staff to offer further explanations and answer questions regarding the Corrections Special School District Program of Studies and the Special Education Process.
