Re:
Mid-cycle Review and Verification of previous Program Review Corrective Action Plan
Dear Mr. Wilkins:
Enclosed is the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s (“Department”) Midcycle Report based upon the Mid-cycle review conducted in your private school program in
November 2012. This Mid-cycle Review Report contains the Department's findings regarding
the implementation status and effectiveness of corrective steps taken in response to your
previous Program Review Report issued on September 9, 2010. This report also includes a
report on the status of implementation for new state or federal special education requirements
enacted since your program’s last Program Review.
The Department will notify you of your program’s next regularly scheduled Program Review
several months before it is to occur. At this time we anticipate the next routine monitoring visit
to occur sometime during the 2015-2016 school year, unless the Department determines that
there is some reason to schedule this visit earlier.
While the Department found certain noncompliance issues to be resolved, others were partially
corrected, not addressed at all and/or new issues were identified by the Department’s onsite
team. Therefore, the Department is issuing a “Provisional Approval” status effective from the
date of this letter and indicated on your approval certificate. Your “Provisional Approval” will
expire on June 28, 2013. The reasons for the “Provisional Approval” are clearly indicated on the
attached Mid-cycle Review Report.
As the Department previously informed you, in cases where a program fails to fully and
Page 1 of 2
effectively implement a Corrective Action Plan which was proposed by your program and
approved by the Department, the Department must then prepare a Corrective Action Plan for the
program which must be implemented without further delay. You will find these requirements for
corrective action and further progress reporting included in the attached report, together with any
steps that must be taken by the program to fully implement new special education requirements.
Please provide the Department with your written assurance that the Department's requirements
for corrective action will be implemented by your program within the timelines specified. Your
statement of assurance must be submitted to the Department's Onsite Chairperson by
May 31, 2013.
Please be advised that the attached Department Approval Certificate must be
conspicuously posted in a public place within the program as required by 603 CMR 28.09.
Your staff's cooperation throughout these follow-up monitoring activities is appreciated. Should
you require additional clarification of information included in our report, please do not hesitate
to contact the Onsite Team Chairperson at 781-338-3713.
Sincerely,
Helen M. Murgida, Mid-cycle Review Chairperson

During the last Program
Review, while Carroll School
had a policy and procedure to
work with school districts to
obtain required parent
consents, it did not include
obtaining annual parental
consent to restrain.
During the Mid-cycle Review,
documentation, student record
reviews and interviews
indicate that the Carroll School
policy and procedure to work
with school districts to obtain
required parent consents now
includes obtaining annual
parental consent to restrain.
