Special Education. The following shall apply to Bargaining Unit Members serving students on individual education plans (IEP’s):
A. Bargaining Unit Members involved with the delivery of education to a special needs student will be afforded the opportunity to participate in the preparation of an IEP Plan for that student. Each IEP team member has the right to give an opinion on what support services, devices, adaptations, aides, and resource materials are needed for a child with special needs to succeed.
B. If the placement of any student into a regular classroom setting significantly disrupts the education of the other students or the teacher has a reasonable basis to believe that a student’s current IEP is not meeting the student’s unique needs, he/she may request that the local district coordinator review the concern, identify needed action, if any, and/or reconvene the IEP team. The Bargaining Unit Member, however, must have already sought the assistance of his/her principal.
C. A list of special needs students by name, by grade, and by primary disabling condition/accommodations for each district building will be available to affected Bargaining Unit Members from the building principal or his/her designee at the start of the school year. Affected Bargaining Unit Members will be offered an orientation for disabling conditions.

E. No Bargaining Unit Member shall be required to perform any medical procedure that requires specialized skills. No regular education Bargaining Unit Member shall be required to perform individual hygiene procedures.
F. No Bargaining Unit Member shall be required to routinely administer medication. Bargaining Unit Members assigned a special needs student may be required to administer medication on an emergency basis. If the teacher voluntarily agrees to perform any such assistance, then he/she shall be considered to be acting in accordance with Board Policy.
G. Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs F & G, a Bargaining Unit Member may perform such functions that are related to his/her area of certification to the extent allowed by federal and state law. Support services identified in the IEP (e.g. classroom aides) will be provided to meet the identified needs of the child in the regular classroom. All necessary resources and materials as det...
