The Early On Supervisor will sign all Part B paperwork, including initial referrals, MET Reports, IFSPs/ IEPs,
and Transition Plans. All EUPISD LEA superintendents have authorized the Early On Supervisor to serve as
a district designee for children who are receiving Early On services and who are found to be Part B eligible.
Area Coordinators will have access to an electronic file of all Early On paperwork for the districts that they
supervise, and they will inform local district superintendents or designees of the children that are
receiving Early On services on a monthly basis. The Early Childhood Supervisor will run monthly reports
from MI-CIS to monitor the status of children under 3 and share these reports with Area Coordinators
monthly.
An electronic file transfer will occur at the point of transition from Part C to B. Area Coordinators will
monitor MI-CIS records of transition status children within their districts.

All Early On Service Coordinators will enter their own data into MI-CIS and the Early On Supervisor will
monitor student records through MI-CIS reports. MI-CIS reports will be given to Service Coordinators at
least quarterly for data verification and corrections.
Early On Service Coordinators will notify Area Coordinators of the date of bi-annual interagency transition
planning meetings. Area Coordinators are strongly encouraged to attend these meetings in order to stay
current regarding the service needs of children within their respective districts.
Local Superintendents and Area Coordinators will receive notification of transition planning conferences
for all Part B eligible children. The district Superintendent will attend or assign a designee to participate in
the transition planning conference.
All Part B eligible children transitioning from Part C will have an initial IEP/IFSP in MI-CIS prior to age 3.
Part B data entry personnel will enter all subsequent IEP/IFSP as a review/revise/reevaluation document
and not an initial.
