Please be advised that the New York State Education Department is conducting a Special Education Quality Assurance (SEQA) Focused Review. This Review Process, which has been in effect since 2001 is part of the regular "audit cycle" from the New York State Education Department. The purpose of this review is to determine if the district's policies, practices and procedures provide programs and services that are reasonably calculated to result in education benefit to students with disabilities. The review protocol applies specific compliance areas to assess how the district manages the annual review process for students with disabilities.
This review focuses on compliance in the areas of the Committee on Special Education (CSE) recommendations, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) development, access to and participation and progress in the general education curriculum, instruction in literacy, behavioral supports, and parental involvement. The process will also involve a review of school records of selected students with disabilities, classroom visitations, and interviews. In addition, meetings of the CSE will be observed.
