IEP IMPLEMENTATION
NOTICE
Issue
(1) District failed to implement IEP for SY20-21 as they did not prepare and provide a weekly list of student’s assignments for the parent.
(2) District failed to timely notify BSEA of the parent’s partial rejection of a proposed IEP.
Finding
Noncompliance:
(2) District acknowledges noncompliance as it failed to file the rejected IEP with BSEA within 5 days of its receipt of the partial rejection. District proposed corrective action requiring the Special Education Administrator to meet with special education and administrative staff to review the required procedure regarding rejected and partially rejected IEPs. DESE accepts the corrective action but requires further corrective action.
Compliance:
(1) District implemented the IEP accommodation in the IEP which stated that the student would prepare, and the teacher would check, the assignment document.
Corrective Action
District must review with appropriate staff the requirements to send rejected IEPs to BSEA and send DESE a copy by 9/24.
District must identify how it will monitor the implementation of the requirement to notify BSEA of IEP rejections, including any developed local procedures, and send DESE a list of staff responsible for monitoring the implementation of district’s procedures by 9/24.
