I & RS
The intervention and referral services (I&RS) committee is a group of individuals who meet to review students who may be experiencing difficulties in school. The I&RS committee is comprised of a Child Study Team Member, Principal, the School Nurse, and the parent. The purpose of the I&RS committee is to discuss concerns regarding the student's achievement and determine interventions to facilitate learning. A plan is devised at this meeting and the student's progress is monitored.
