Mr. Minotti will be supporting students K-8 in Out of District Placements, the liaison for special education supports for the private schools as well as monitor and provide support in compliance around the evaluation process and IEP document.

In these positions, he led and supported student-centered district and statewide initiatives which included: ensured collaborative PPT processes; provided a structure for inclusion, Multi-Tier System of Supports (MTSS), and co-teaching; led special education compliance; collaborated and delivered various statewide trainings with the most recent being the new statewide Individualized Education Program (IEP) and the Connecticut Special Education Data System (CT-SEDS), and many more.
