What is the Subcommittee of the CSE?
The Board of Education in cities with a population larger than 125,000, can appoint Subcommittees on Special Education [“SCSE”], in addition to CSEs, to the extent it is necessary to make sure evaluations and student placements are done in a timely manner. The Board of Education or trustees in any other city can also appoint SCSEs where it is necessary to help the Board of Education.The SCSE can do everything that a CSE can do, except when a child is being considered for initial placement in:A special class; A special class outside the school the child currently attends; A school primarily serving students with disabilities; or A school outside the student’s districtIf a parent at any time makes a written request for a review of the SCSE’s recommendations, the SCSE must refer its recommendations to the CSE.Mandatory attendance of the SCSE is slightly different than that at the CSE. The SCSE does not require either a Parent Member or a School Physician if requested.
