IEP IMPLEMENTATION

COMPENSATORY SERVICES

Issue

District failed to implement IEP service, specifically a 1:1 aide

Finding

Noncompliance: It is noncompliance and denial of FAPE on days when school was unable to provide an aide due to staff absence and student was required to stay home

Corrective Action

District, with parent, must create a compensatory services plan for any period of school unattended by student due to lack of aide.  Must develop plan with parents and submit plan with parent signature to DESE by 7/30/21.  If no mutually agreed upon plan, DESE will develop one.

District must create a contingency plan for times when aide is unable to monitor student in the program to prevent student from being kept home from school and submit plan to DESE
