RE: Alert to District and ESD Special Education Directors: Monitoring Update

The Office of Student Learning and Partnerships has identified the need to revise the district requirement for annual student file reviews and documentation in the SPR&I application. The revision will now target all charter schools. The growth in enrollment within the charter settings has driven the need for a proportional general supervision review of students receiving FAPE.  The number of student files reviewed by a district is determined by the number of special education students reported in the special education child count (SECC) data collection.

Beginning with the 2012-2013 submission, all charter schools will be individually represented in the student file selection. The procedural compliance reviews for each charter school will be added to the sponsoring district's review list. State Board of Education charter schools will be included in the files reviewed within the local district. The following table identifies the number of files anticipated to be reviewed based on the charter school SECC enrollment.
