School District Preschool Initial SEIS/SCIS Applications
Questions may be directed to the Office of Special Education Preschool Policy Unit at OSEapplications@nysed.gov.
These business portal applications allow a school district to apply for initial Special Education Itinerant Services (SEIS) and/or initial Special Class in an Integrated Setting (SCIS) programs.
Staff that are authorized to submit and certify surveys on behalf of the school district can find the applications on the SED Monitoring and Vendor Performance System (SEDMON) in the SED Business Portal under Special Education – ASEP, School District Preschool Initial SEIS and SCIS Application
Approval letters will still be issued and emailed to both the superintendent and application contact person once the submission meets application criteria standards.
