Re:                   Dates for Regional IEP Meetings Scheduled for McKownville United Methodist Church, Western Ave. Guilderland

The following dates have been scheduled for those districts choosing Option I (McKownville United Methodist Church) for IEP meetings. You will be receiving a memo requesting your choice of IEP scheduling Option (see below). The IEP meetings at McKownville Church are scheduled by Region, District and Teacher so that teachers may be available to you at the McKownville Church with the least amount of interruption to student programs and requiring the minimal amount of teacher absence from the class. You will notice some regions have overlapping dates. This was done in an attempt to accommodate those districts with smaller numbers of students in BOCES classes. The scheduling matrix is a complex task of coordinating district time and teacher time. We appreciate your consideration and accommodation in this scheduling process. As always, we look forward to meeting with you and hosting beneficial conferences for your students.

Region 2	Jaime Covington	April 1^st & 2^nd
