School
district seeks parent volunteers for Special
Education committees
The
Niskayuna Central School District Student
Support Services Office is seeking parent
volunteers to join the Committee on Special
Education (CSE) or the Committee on Preschool
Special Education (CPSE). State laws require
school districts to have parent representation
during CSE and CPSE meetings. If a parent
representative is not present for full CSE/CPSE
meetings, those meetings must be canceled.
Presently, the Niskayuna school district does
not have sufficient parent representatives for
CSE and CPSE meetings. If you are interested in
becoming a CSE/CPSE parent member, please call
the Student Support Services Office at 382-2525,
ext. 50739, 50738 or 50735.

Niskayuna
introduces Model Transition Program to help students
with disabilities transition to life after high school
Niskayuna Central School District’s Office of Student
Support Services has partnered with the Guilderland and
Mohonasen school districts to present a series of
workshops for parents and students with disabilities to
help plan for life beyond high school—whether that
includes continuing their education at college,
participating in vocational training or joining the
workforce.
The New York State Model Transition Program (MTP), an
initiative between the New York State Education
Department (NYSED), Cornell University, and the
University at Buffalo, is designed to help students with
disabilities and their parents become acquainted with
many of the issues related to post-high school planning.
Parents are invited to attend any or all workshops.
Download the
program brochure for more information and a list of
upcoming workshops. Contact Carol Wall, Training
Coordinator, 518-352-2511 to sign up for the
workshops.
