Important

Information from S.C. BabyNet, important for members to review and give comment:
Please link below to information to read the 3rd draft of proposed revisions to the BabyNet Policies and Procedure Manual, first posted for public review and comment on March 5, 2010. Following comment received by mail, e‐mail and at 7 public hearings significant revisions were made in preparation to submit state policies due May 10, 2010 to the Division of Monitoring and State Planning, U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) along with South Carolina’s FFY 2010 federal grant application. A compilation of all comments was posted on the BabyNet website May 19, 2010.

At the State Interagency Coordinating Council meeting held in Columbia on May 6, 2010, BabyNet interagency partners requested the opportunity to review the revisions made following the public participation period in more detail, and with additional opportunity for agency‐specific input, prior to submitting the policies to OSEP. It was also agreed that a second period of public comment was appropriate to ensure families and BabyNet System Personnel were afforded adequate time to review, respond, and provide feedback if desired. OSEP was notified of South Carolina’s intent to conduct a second period of public comment, which would delay submission of the proposed revisions. The State Interagency Coordinating Council was informed that the state had the option for additional comment, but that doing so potentially delayed the state FFY 2010 grant award from OSEP.

The 3rd draft represents input from the first comment period as well as interagency input, and revisions made are included as preface to each section of the manual. This draft will be posted on the BabyNet website at http://www.scfirststeps.org/babynet.html and additional public comment will be accepted Friday, May 28, 2010 through Friday, June 25, 2010. All comments must be provided electronically or in writing and may be sent to: Kristie Musick, Part C Coordinator, BabyNet State Office, 1300 Sumter St, Suite 203, Columbia, SC 29201 or to email address kmusick@scfirststeps.org
