Hi. I am a Transition teacher in California. I would like to know what is the ratio of students to staff for community outings in your districts? I have been teaching in my district for 20+ years and it has always been 4:1 ratio for our moderate/severe transition classes. Now our director is saying it's 6:1 and I don't feel like this is safe for our students.

6:1 unless more support is needed. Plus a vocational specialist (classified).

10:1. It has always been like this in NY.

I wanted to clarify this post. I teach mod/severe Transition students that are 18-22 years. Our program is community based. When we are out in the community, which is 80% of our day, we are 6:1 ratio. It used to be 4:1. I just wanted to know how Transition programs were set up in other areas of California. Thanks

How do you all schedule IEPs with parents ? Do you figure out what days you/admin/ subs are holding them, then send out the “time” you expect parents to show, or do you contact them and ask what days/ time blocks work for them?
At times,I feel it’s rude to just tell them a time, but some parents get so entitled-don’t want to use THEIR sick/vacay time to attend during school hours. SoTired of overtime as a SPED writing/holding ieps after contract hours though.What works best for you all?
