NYSED Seeking Family Input Regarding Special Education Services
The New York State Education Department is currently seeking family engagement to help improve outcomes for students with disabilities in New York State.
Feedback from parents, school administrators, educators, advocacy organizations, community members and other stakeholders will be used to guide the State Performance Plan, which will be in effect through 2025. This plan will include 17 indicators that measure child and family outcomes, as well as compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Families are invited to share their input by participating in online surveys, as well as registering to attend virtual meetings that will be held in November 2021.
To learn more about how to register for the virtual stakeholder meetings, please click here. Registration is required by October 29th. Surveys on each of the 17 topics (graduation rates, drop out rates, assessment, suspension and more) are available within the tabs linked on the State Performance Plan page.
We encourage all families to share their feedback! If you have any questions about the plan or related activities, please contact NYSPP@nysed.gov.
What is the Office of Family Engagement?
The Office of Family Engagement was created to provide a stronger home-school connection by finding ways for parents to become more active in their child’s education. The Office of Family Engagement now includes Parent University, as well as four Family Engagement Facilitators. We look forward to working with you!
What is a Family Engagement Facilitator?
Family Engagement Facilitators will serve as liaisons between parents and schools to help establish stronger home-school relationships.

How can they help me?
Family Engagement Facilitators help families with school related issues that may surround behavior, IEPs, parent/teacher conferences where the teacher and parent don’t see eye to eye and refer to community agencies when needed. They also make sure parents are aware of District-wide meetings and help schools build and maintain PTO type groups, work with Title One initiatives, workshops and provide resources and information to schools and families.
They facilitate the PUMP bus and support Parent University events, and also work with schools in making the school culture more welcoming. If you’re looking to become more of a partner in your child’s education, a Family Engagement Facilitator is a great place to start!
