Risk-Focused Monitoring Webinar
The Office of Special Education and Early Learning (OSEEL) is hosting a webinar for all districts identified for risk-focused monitoring (RFM) on Monday, October 24th, at 4:00 p.m. ET. The purpose of the webinar is to review the RFM process, share details about the upcoming RFM visits, and answer any questions you may have regarding RFM. This information was previously shared with Directors of Special Education (DoSEs) during the Dose Institute in September. It will be a refresher and an additional opportunity for superintendents and DoSEs to receive clarification for any remaining questions.
For questions, please email Carol Ann Morrison at carol.morrison@education.ky.gov.
