The ISP ensures that the alternative education program is the appropriate placement for the student and sets forth goals and a plan for accomplishing them.  It also identifies services the student and their immediate family will need to be successful.  Indiana Code is explicit about the process for developing an Individual Service Plan for each student in an alternative education school or program.  All alternative education programs with approved grants qualifying them for state alternative education funding need to ensure that their process aligns with the following process.\nLocal Process for developing Individual Service Plans for students in approved alternative education programs\n1.  \tThe school identifies eligible students (IC 20-10.1-4.6-6.3) for the alternative education program and ensures that they are eligible to participate in the alternative education program.  To be eligible, the student must:\n* Be enrolled in or be eligible to be admitted to grades 6-12.\n* Meet at least one of the criteria for placement:\nStudent intends to withdraw or has withdrawn before graduation.\nStudent has failed to comply academically AND would benefit from instruction offered in a manner different from the traditional school.\nStudent is a parent or expectant parent and is unable to regularly attend the traditional school.\nStudent is employed and the employment is necessary for support of the student’s family AND interferes with a part of the instructional day.\nStudent is a disruptive student (documented history of frequent disruptions despite repeated attempts to modify behavior with a progressive disciplinary program).\n* Have a written Individual Service Plan (ISP).\n2.  \tAppropriate staff (teacher(s), principal or designee) writes the initial Individual Service Plan (ISP) for the student.  It must be signed indicating that they agree that the student is likely to benefit from participation in the alternative education program.\n3.\tThe ISP must contain all of the items in bold print in the state TEMPLATE.  However, programs can determine the order or add additional items as needed at the local level.\n4.  \tThe ISP must be reviewed and revised annually.  To document the review, the individuals involved should sign and date the ISP.\nThe intent is for an ISP to be a living document that informs programming.  As a result most programs review ISPs frequently or at critical intervals such as the end of a grading period or end of semester.\n5.\tThe local school board is responsible for ensuring that students in the alternative\neducation program meet the eligibility criteria.\nLegal Requirement\nIC 20\u001e10.1\u001e4.6\u001e6.7\nIndividual service plans for students\nSec. 6.7. (a) Before placing a student in an alternative education program, the school corporation in which the student is enrolled shall prepare an individual service plan for the student's placement.\n(b) The individual service plan for a student shall be reviewed and revised as needed. However, the individual service plan must be reviewed and revised at least annually.\n(c) The initial plan and each revised plan shall be jointly prepared by the student's teacher or teachers and principal or principal's designee. If a student is enrolled in an alternative education program when an individual service plan is revised, the principal and teacher for the alternative education program may prepare the revised plan. If a student is enrolled in the classes of more than one (1) teacher, a teacher who is designated by the school corporation as the student's principal advisor shall prepare the individual service plan.\n(d) The individual service plan for a student must be in writing. In the plan, the student's teacher or teachers and principal or principal's designee must indicate that they jointly agree that the student is likely to academically benefit from p","cbCaitDb99IKv4LQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitDb99IKv4LQ","docx",28604,"English","# Local Process for developing Individual Service Plans for students in approved alternative education programs\n## Legal Requirement (IC 20-10.1-4.6-6.7)\n# Individual Service Plan Form (ISP Template)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of an Individual Service Plan (ISP) in alternative education?\",\"answer\":\"The ISP ensures the student is placed appropriately in the alternative education program, sets goals, and outlines services needed for the student and immediate family to succeed.\"},{\"question\":\"Who must jointly prepare and sign an ISP under Indiana Code?\",\"answer\":\"The initial plan and each revised plan must be jointly prepared by the student’s teacher(s) and the principal or the principal’s designee, with required written indicators of expected academic benefit.\"},{\"question\":\"What must an ISP include and how often must it be reviewed?\",\"answer\":\"An ISP must be in writing and include educational goals, behavioral goals, an appropriate alternative education program, and required services for the student and immediate family.
