Stretching across the entire district and reaching students in all grade levels, Student Services not only coordinates programming for students identified as having disabilities, students who are identified in the gifted range and students who are English Language Learners, but builds an educational foundation through Kidder Preschool, our five-star preschool. The Student Services Department offers a variety of services to support education, including:

• Counseling services      • Crisis intervention

• Nursing/healthcare   • Physical, occupational and speech therapy

• Psychology    • Orientation/mobility and vision     

• Transition services     • Assistive technology

Annual Notice to Families: Medicaid Billing

The Brunswick City School District has the opportunity to receive Federal Medicaid dollars through a program called the Ohio Medicaid School Program (MSP). Through this program, school districts can receive Medicaid dollars for services such as Speech, Audiology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Nursing, Psychology, Counseling, and Social Work services. The district can receive funding when a student receives one or more of these services and the student has current Medicaid insurance coverage. In the process of billing Medicaid for these services, certain billing information must be shared with the Ohio Department of Medicaid. Before the district can submit claim data for Medicaid billing purposes, the district must first obtain a signed Parental Consent to Share Information and Access Medicaid.

 
This annual notice is to inform you of all of your legal protections and rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
