The document outlines the procedures for conducting Student Success Team (SST) meetings according to a school district's new process. It describes the rationale for implementing SSTs to provide universal access to curriculum, ensure students are in the least restrictive environment, and document that general education accommodations were attempted. It then compares the old and new SST procedures, which include completing forms, developing student interventions, monitoring progress, and referring students for further evaluation if needed. The document provides detailed steps for conducting initial SST meetings, follow-up meetings, and the meeting protocol. It also includes examples of Response to Intervention pyramids used at two elementary schools.

1. The SST Process
Procedures
Rationale
Procedures
RtI Pyramid

2. Rationale for SSTs – 3 P’s
Provide all students with universal access to the
curriculum using systematic assessments to identify and
remediate student needs before repeated failure takes
place.
Provide all students with the least restrictive educational
environment.
Provide documentation that all appropriate General
Education Accommodations have been attempted in an
effort to increase a student’s success in the General
Education setting.

3. District Rationale
In 2011, CNUSD was found disproportionate in the
number of Hispanic students identified for special
education under the eligibility of Specific Learning
Disability.
The district had entered its first year Of Program
Improvement.
These two findings led to the development of the
new Student Success Team(SST) procedures and
forms.

4. Old vs. New Procedure
Old Process
 Parent conference held
 Strategies put into place.
 SST Meeting Held
Additional strategies may be
developed. No ongoing
documentation used.
 Follow up meeting held.
-If, through interview, strategies are
not successful, then a referral for
Psycho-educational Evaluation may
be presented.
New Process
• Face-to-Face Parent Interview Form to
be completed.
– Strategies developed
– Student Intervention Form
Started
– If unsuccessful, then additional
strategies are developed with a
grade-level SST Chair/Mentor
– If unsuccessful, then the Referral
to SST Form is used.
– SST Meeting(s) are held.
Additional Strategies are put into
place
If those are unsuccessful, then a
referral for Psycho-educational
Testing may be completed.

5. SST 1
Initial Meeting with Parent/No Previous SST’s using
the New Forms

If the interventions are successful and there are no other concerns, continue with the
interventions, contact parent in person, by phone, or email. File a copy of all SST documents
in a yellow file folder in the CUM.
If the interventions are successful and there are additional concerns, meet with parents to
devise interventions to address the new concerns. Document on Student Intervention Log.
This step may be repeated as needed until there are Target Behaviors that are not being
successfully remediated.

6. SST 2 – Previous SST’s are on File
