This is really bizarre. Can you keep copies in your room? I reference my IEPs all the time, I can’t imagine not having immediate access to them.
Same the IEP drives instruction. I would consult SPED director.
I am both the case manager and the special education teacher. For years I have requested a locking file cabinet and have yet to have one. Will go directly to our units special education director now. Legality & confidentiality are critical in this case.
Mine doesn't lock either, but I lock my door at night. but you must have access to at least a working file. That is BS. Power trip.
We don’t keep paper in class. Everything is on Welligent!
We use a program called IEP Writer where we always have access to a digital copy. However we are permitted to print them out and keep them in a safe place.
We keep copies of the IEP and the snapshots in our rooms, although we also have copies kept in the permanent files in a locked room. In our district, the teacher is considered the Case Manager. It's weird they won't you have it on hand...perhaps something went down in the district, some breach of security or confidentiality, that caused them to put restrictions on access? Sometimes districts have extreme responses to things like that.
We get a single breakdown and then go and ask a case manger if we need further information or help.
In our district the SpEd teacher, for most part, is the Case Manager. We keep them in a locked file cabinet with the SpEd teacher. Gen Ed teachers only get a copy of the Student at a Glance.
I had the same issue as you. Asked school, but they did not provide me with one. Finally, I could get a filing cabinet through Donors Choose.
All of our IEP folders are kept in locked filing cabinets in a centralized location.
