DIRECTORS OF SPECIAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE (DOSE)

The Directors of Special Education Committee (DOSE) is comprised of school district Directors

of Special Education and other designated personnel who are appointed by the superintendent of the school district in which they are employed. The Committee is responsible for providing

a vehicle for communication, consultation and coordination of special education services.

The Directors of Special Education initiate the development of procedures and policies to be sent to the Superintendents Governance Committee for consideration and implements SELPA Policies county wide. Members of the Committee apprise their Superintendents regarding areas to be discussed at the Superintendents Governance Committee meetings. Linkage between the Superintendents Governance Committee and the Directors of Special Education Committee is provided by having the SELPA Administrator and a representative appointed from the Directors of Special Education Committee attend the Superintendents Governance Committee meetings.
