A Colorado bill will help expand access to translated education documents for parents who don’t speak English fluently and who have children with disabilities.
Brenner noted how the district has taken the initiative in recent years to provide parents with additional orally translated conversations ahead of the IEP final draft, including providing families with English rough drafts and asking if they’d like to speak with someone in their preferred language to walk them through the materials.
“The technology itself is a huge component because it makes it a lot easier for us to get an overview of everything that’s happening in the district,” he said. “For a lot of school districts, they don’t have a centralized service. They just expect schools to take care of things themselves. And the schools aren’t professionals in arranging these types of services.”
The costs of the district’s IEP-related services have grown from $35,000 in previous years to close to $100,000 this year. McGinnis said his office has requested the district for a budget increase of close to $200,000 for next year.
