8. samples of student work;

9. observations of student effort at home and/or school;

10. student academic and non-academic strengths and interests;

11. most recent vision and hearing screening results;

C. The SBLC will determine if relevant data indicates the need for further action that may include:

1. additional assessment;

2. continuation of specialized instructional interventions and progress monitoring;

3. development of a 504 Plan to provide classroom accommodations;

4. referral to pupil appraisal for evaluation to determine eligibility for special services as provided by IDEA;
