IEP Implementation

Compensatory Services

Issue

(1) IEP was based solely on 2 in-person days per week and not entire 5 day school week

(2) District did not follow guidelines re: prioritizing in-person instruction for students with high needs

Finding

Noncompliance:

(1) District did not provide correct level of service in IEP grid-only specified services for 2 in-person days instead of full school week

Compliance:

(2) District followed guidelines in its consideration and prioritization of in-person instruction-guidance was followed and student was found to not meet the level of complex or significant need and showed ability to access remote learning

 

Corrective Action

IEP Team must reconvene to review services provided and determine educational loss resulting from provision of inadequate “grid B” services (special ed services provided in the general education setting) and create compensatory service plan with parents.

Plan must be agreed upon and submitted to DESE by 5/1/21 or DESE will develop the plan
