COMPENSATORY SERVICES
Issue
(1) Student could not access remote learning during COVID shutdown and also did not receive IEP services, including 1:1 aide throughout school day during 2020-2021 school year
Finding
1) Compliance: District implemented DESE guidance regarding remote learning and communicated with parents to support access
Noncompliance: District did not provide 1:1 aide service hours as indicated in IEP due to lack of staffing
Corrective Action
District already submitted a corrective action plan and acknowledged it did not consider if student required COVID compensatory services for spring of 2020 and also acknowledged it must consider compensatory services for 20-21 school year.
District must convene IEP Team to determine if student requires compensatory services for period of school shutdown due to COVID
District must also develop a compensatory service plan for lack of provision of services during 2020-2021 school year.If no plan can be agreed upon DESE will develop the plan.
