Primary Responsibilities:
- Schedule and lead IEP meetings, collaborating closely with families and multidisciplinary teams
- Serve as the communication link between staff, families, and external partners involved in the IEP process
- Ensure all IEP documentation is thorough, compliant, and completed within required timelines
- Maintain and organize student records, tracking special education processes and deadlines
- Partner with district staff to uphold state and federal special education standards
- Manage documentation and workflow using district IEP platforms
- Support all aspects of case management to ensure the smooth, compliant execution of special education procedures
