Re: Mid-cycle Report
Dear Superintendent Jerome:
Enclosed is the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Mid-cycle Report based
on the onsite visit conducted in your district in December 2012. During the Mid-Cycle Review
the Department monitored selected special education criteria to determine your district’s
compliance with special education laws and regulations. The review consisted of information
gathered from one or more of the following activities: interviews, review of student records,
examination of documentation, and classroom observation(s).
The Department determined that one or more of the criteria monitored in your district was
“Partially Implemented” or “Not Implemented.” In all instances where noncompliance was
found, the Department has prescribed corrective action for the district. This corrective action
must be implemented as soon as possible, but in no case later than a year from the date of this
report. You will find these requirements for corrective action included in the enclosed report,
along with requirements for submitting progress reports using the enclosed form.
Please provide the Department with your written assurance that all of the required corrective
action will be implemented by your district within the timelines specified in the report. You
must submit your statement of assurance to Darlene Lynch, Director, Program Quality Assurance
Services, by June 21, 2013.

Your staff's cooperation throughout this Mid-cycle Review is appreciated. If you have questions
about this letter or the enclosed report, please do not hesitate to contact Coretta McCarter at 781338-3733.

Not all required Team
members are consistently
present at the IEP Team
meeting, including the
student’s general education
teacher (if the student is
involved in a general education
program) and the parent.
When a required member of
the Team does not attend the
IEP Team meeting, the district
is not following appropriate
procedures to excuse the
required Team member that
include:
 The district and the parent
agree, in writing, that the
attendance of the Team
member is not necessary
because the member’s area
of the curriculum or related
services is not being
modified or discussed; or

Parental
consent
When a parent revokes
consent, in writing, to special
education services, the district
provides written notice to the
parent of its proposal to
discontinue services based on
the revocation of consent as
well as information on how the
parent can obtain a copy of
his/her rights to procedural
safeguards. The district
provides notice within a
reasonable time before it
intends to discontinue services.
Staff members are aware that
they may not use mediation or
request a due process hearing
to obtain agreement or a ruling
for continuation of services.
Develop procedures for
obtaining parental consent
prior to conducting an
evaluation. The procedures
must include seeking consent
from the parents to conduct
specific assessments listed on
the Evaluation Consent Form
(N1A). Train IEP Team
chairpersons on these new
procedures.
Develop an internal oversight
and tracking system to ensure
that the district is including
specific assessments on the
N1A when seeking parental
consent. The tracking system
should include supervisory

Basis of Determination about
Criterion
Although the district
consistently obtains parental
consent before an evaluation,
the district does not provide the
parent with sufficient
information as to the proposed
evaluations to meet the
requirement of this criterion
that it be informed parental
consent. Specifically, the
district lists the same broad
evaluations for all students by
requesting parental consent for
cognitive and achievement
assessments. Once the district
obtains parental consent for
evaluations, the district then
determines which specific
assessments, such as
behavioral, speech, and related
services, to conduct.

When a student suspected of
having a specific learning

creates a written determination
as to whether or not he or she
has a specific learning
disability. The Team uses the
most current required SLD form
(28M/10), which is signed by all
members of the Team. If there is
disagreement as to the
determination, one or more
Team members document their
disagreement.
