Support throughout the process
About the CSE Office
The Committee on Special Education (CSE) office assists Windward parents/guardians in their interactions with the Committee on Special Education. The team frequently participates in CSE meetings (PPT meetings in Connecticut) for Windward students. With their guidance, parents/guardians can make informed decisions about accessing the CSE process, either in their district of residence or The Windward School public school district of location (White Plains, Harrison). Parent/guardians can also be better prepared to participate in an active and meaningful way in discussions at CSE meetings. CSE team members are knowledgeable about individual evaluations and can help families understand how the CSE is likely to interpret evaluation results. In addition, they are familiar with the spectrum of special education services that can be considered for a student. When a student is leaving Windward, they work with parents/guardians and the outplacement office to ensure that special education services, if necessary, will be available in the student's next school setting.
