The NEW IEP Process Effective August 26, 2024

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) developed a brand new design for the IEP.  All districts need to implement the New IEP format in the 2024-2025 school year.  This new IEP is more student and family friendly. 

It is important to note only the format of the IEP is changing.  The state and federal regulations are NOT changing!!

Dr. Allan Blume, Educational Consultant for Hudson, provided training for our Student Services providers.   Dr. Blume created a 12 part series of short videos explaining the process change designed for parents, general educators and Student Services providers.  These short videos are in a folder at the left of this screen.  The videos are intended for you to watch at your leisure.

As a district, Hudson Public Schools strives to fully educate children who are diagnosed with a disability which impacts their ability to access the general curriculum. In accordance with both state and federal regulations, we provide a variety of services. Our focus and goal is to include students in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). Our special education faculty members, including support staff, are comprised of highly qualified and/or certified professionals.

The special education staff at each school strives to provide an educational environment where our students are supported and challenged to make progress. We believe that a strong partnership with parents/guardians is key to student success. To that end, we view our parents as partners in the educational process, sharing in both advocacy and responsibility. This partnership is necessary to help students achieve their highest potential.
