Re: Onsite Follow-up Monitoring Report: Program Review
Corrective Action Plan Verification and Mid-cycle Review
Dear Mr. Masi:
Enclosed is the Department's Program Review Follow-up Monitoring Report together with
findings regarding your private school’s Mid-Cycle Program Review. This report contains the
Department's findings based on the onsite activities conducted in your school to verify the
implementation status and effectiveness of corrective steps taken in response to your Program
Review Report issued on April 29, 2002. This report also includes a report on the status of
implementation for new state or federal special education requirements enacted since your
school’s last Program Review.
While the Department of Education 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 April 29, 2005. The reasons for the “Provisional Approval” are clearly
indicated on the attached Corrective Action Plan Implementation Checklist.
As the Department previously informed you, in cases where a private school fails to fully and
effectively implement a Corrective Action Plan which was proposed by your school and
approved by the Department, the Department must then prepare a Corrective Action Plan for the
school 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 school 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 private school within the timelines specified.
Your statement of assurance must be submitted to the Department's Onsite Chairperson by
January 31, 2005.
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 781-338-3717.
Sincerely,
Betsy Holcombe, Program Review Follow-up Chairperson
