35 Shasta County Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) GOVERNING BOARD BOARD RESOLUTION WHEREAS WHEREAS WHEREAS WHEREAS WHEREAS WHEREAS School districts within the State of California receive funding for special education students and provide services to these students through Special Education Local Plan Areas (SELPAs), and; the SELPA structure has provided and can continue to provide an effective structural mechanism for school districts of all sizes to efficiently pool resources to hire and develop more highly-qualified professional staff with specialized skills, and; creating alternate models for funding could disrupt the flow of services to this population and/or limit the ability and resolve of districts to collaborate for more efficient and higher-quality programs, and; funding special education through the Local Control Funding Formula could allow districts to use special education funds for more general purposes, and; the California Department of Finance is currently researching alternative special education funding models that may modify or eliminate the SELPA structure, and; the Shasta County Special Education Local Plan Area Governing Board supports the continuance of the SELPA model as an effective means of providing special education funding and services NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Shasta County Special Education Local Plan Area Governing Board affirms its support to continue the SELPA structure as the means of providing funding and services to special education students in the State of California. ADOPTED this 25th day of April 2017, by the Shasta County Special Education Local Plan Area Governing Board in Redding, California.
