Re: Mid-cycle Report
Dear Superintendent Landers:
Enclosed is the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Mid-cycle Report based on the onsite visit
conducted in your district in March 2013. 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 October 18, 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 Randall Palmer at 781-338-3734.
Sincerely,
Randall Palmer, Mid-cycle Review Chairperson

In addition, there was no

Review of student records

the district does not begin
services prior to receiving
written parental consent to
the IEP. Additionally,
records indicated that when
an IEP goes unsigned for an
extended period of time, the
district makes attempts to
secure the consent of the
parent through multiple
means using a variety of
methods which are
documented by the district.
The school has a process in
place so that when a parent
revokes consent in writing,
the school will promptly
provide the parent with a
written notice of the
school’s proposal to
discontinue services within
a reasonable period of time,
as well as how the parent
can obtain a copy of his/her
right to procedural
safeguards.
