POTSDAM CENTRAL SCHOOL BEHIND ON MANDATED SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENT EVALUATIONS, BOARD MEMBERS UNHAPPY—Special Ed Director Greg Jadlos told the Board of Education last week a quality assurance check by the state revealed 65 overdue evaluations, some over two years outstanding. Jadlos says Special Ed has not been immune to budget cutbacks, and that psychologists have been working more with students, parents, and teachers in an 'open door' policy that will now have to end to the students' detriment. Board members, Wade Davis in particular called for frequent updates and a timetable sped up faster than Jadlos gave the board to have the paperwork done. Jadlos says due diligence has been performed with every student, and then some day-to-day.
