Job Description
As the fastest growing, highest-performing charter school network in New York State, Success Academy is reimagining K-12 public education. Nationally recognized for our innovative, whole-child school model and outstanding academic results, Success Academy educators are empowering children from all backgrounds with the knowledge, skills, and self-belief to succeed in college and in life. We now need a results-driven Specialist to join our Special Education (Sprint) team.
Success Academies has a profoundly innovative schooling model that achieves outstanding results at scale, and our approach to children with Special Education services is just as radical. We begin with the core belief that disability does not mean an inability, that no child should be written off because of learning differences. Fifteen percent of our scholars receive Special Education support, and we designed and launched the Sprint program to ensure we provide these scholars with an outstanding education. While the identification of scholars in need of Special Education supports and the execution of the necessary interventions are carried out at the school-level, a supporting Network capability has shared responsibility and accountability for these scholars.
Reporting into the Lead of the Sprint Compliance team, this Specialist will be responsible for the execution of billing the DOE for Special Education services provided by SA through bi-monthly invoicing cycles. They will work closely with SA’s Finance and Technology teams to ensure all billable services are accounted for and billed accurately. They will also work collaboratively within the Sprint Compliance team to ensure that school teams are held accountable and conform to all legal and regulatory requirements of the Special Education process.
The Sprint Compliance team leads on critical initiatives, including coordination of 504s, accuracy of testing accommodation implementation, related service staffing, escalations to and relationship building with the Committees on Special Education (CSEs), high stakes case support, and generalized school support. This team works closely with and serves as a resource for Instructional Services, Advisory, Operations, Technology, and Finance for all departmental crossover that involves Network or School Sprint. Sprint Compliance also works with multiple offices from the NYC DOE including the district-specific CSEs, the Charter School Office (CSO), and the Office of Related Services (ORS).
