The revision will now target <u>all</u> 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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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.
