Who makes the decision regarding who participates in the NYSAA?
The Committee on Special Education (CSE), including the student, when appropriate, and the student’s parents/family/guardians, makes this decision. The CSE has specific criteria or rules to use in making this decision. These criteria are listed in the Department of Education’s Division of Assessment and Accountability Memorandum # 3, 2001-2002. This memorandum is available in your child’s school.
