Re: Mid-cycle Coordinated Program Review Report
Dear Superintendent Tyrell:
Enclosed is the Department of Education's Mid-cycle Coordinated Program Review Report (Mid-
Cycle Report). This report contains findings based on onsite monitoring conducted to verify the implementation and effectiveness of corrective action approved by the Department to address findings of noncompliance included in the Foxborough Public Schools Coordinated Program
Review Report issued on July 9, 2003. The Mid-cycle Report also contains findings based on onsite monitoring of special education compliance criteria that have been newly created or substantially changed in response to IDEA 2004.
As you know, another component of the Department’s Mid-cycle Review is the review of your school district or charter school's self-assessment in the area of English learner education (ELE).
(In the remainder of this letter, please read “district” as meaning “school district or charter school.”) The purpose of this review is to determine whether your district is implementing the significant changes in M.G.L. Chapter 71A, governing the education of limited English proficient students, that were adopted by voters by means of Question 2 in 2002. The Department has reviewed your district’s ELE self-assessment documents and, based solely on that selfassessment, is providing you in this report with comments on your ELE program and, where necessary, corrective action to be implemented. Your district is urged to request technical assistance in relation to any of these comments or prescribed corrective action. To secure assistance, you may consult with your Mid-cycle Review Chairperson. You may also consult with staff in the Department’s Office of Language Acquisition and Achievement at 781-338-3534 and obtain additional ELE guidance documents through the Department’s web site at http://www.doe.mass.edu/ell/ .
The onsite team would like to commend the following areas that were brought to its attention and that the team believes have a significant and positive impact on the delivery of educational services for students enrolled in the Foxborough Public Schools. These areas are as follows:
The special education department has done a commendable job in improving the quality of IEPs. IEPs are written with strong, measurable goals, thorough descriptions of
specially designed instruction, and extensive progress reports.
The Director of Special Education’s everyday efforts have resulted in high-quality programs and services for the special needs population in Foxborough.
Educational assessments are particularly well done by the teachers in Foxborough.
The Department will notify you of your district's next regularly scheduled Coordinated Program
Review several months before it is to occur. At this time we anticipate the Department's next routine monitoring visit to occur sometime during the 2008-2009 school year, unless the
Department determines that there is some reason to schedule this visit earlier.
While the Department of Education found your district to have resolved certain noncompliance issues, others were partially corrected or not addressed at all, or the Department’s onsite team identified new issues of noncompliance, either noncompliance with special education criteria added or substantially changed in response to IDEA 2004, noncompliance with ELE criteria, or other new noncompliance. Where the district has failed to implement its approved Corrective
Action Plan, the Department views these findings to be serious.
In all instances where noncompliance has been found, the Department has prescribed corrective action for the district that must be implemented without delay. You will find these requirements for corrective action included in the attached report, along with requirements for progress reporting. Please provide the Department with your written assurance that all of the Department's requirements for corrective action will be implemented by your school district within the timelines specified. Your statement of assurance must be submitted to the Mid-cycle Review
Chairperson by September 8, 2006 .
Your staff's cooperation throughout these follow-up monitoring activities is appreciated. Should you like clarification of any part of our report, please do not hesitate to contact the Mid-cycle
Review Chairperson at 781-338-3704.
Sincerely,
Matthew Deninger, Mid-cycle Review Chairperson
