First, a data error was identified in a presentation regarding the prevalence of autism in the student population. While officials clarified the figure referred to the IEP population rather than the whole student body, accurate data is essential for public trust.

Second, the Board discussed literacy gaps for students with IEPs/504s. There is a recognized need to strengthen 'Tier 1' (general classroom) instruction to avoid pushing too many students into higher-intensity interventions that exceed the district's current bandwidth.

Longer-form draft.

At the April 6th Indian Prairie School District 204 Board of Education meeting, several updates were provided regarding the growing needs of the district's Special Education department.

During the presentation, it was noted that the number of students requiring services is increasing, specifically those with autism. This trend brings significant questions regarding resource allocation and the district's ability to provide adequate support. Notably, officials had to clarify a data error in the presentation materials regarding the percentage of students with autism to avoid community misinterpretation.

Addressing these gaps, the Board discussed the importance of improving 'Tier 1' instruction—the support provided in general education classrooms. The goal is to increase literacy proficiency for students with IEPs and 504 plans while preventing an over-reliance on intensive 'Tier 2' or 'Tier 3' interventions that the district may not have the bandwidth to sustain. A formal literacy review involving teachers and administrators is now underway for late spring/summer 2026. https://meetingwatch.org/il/indian-prairie-204/school-board/2026-04-06/ #MeetingWatch #IndianPrairie204IL
