Recommendation R2
Establish a mandatory tracking system for service delivery, missed minutes of service (with reasons), and timely parent notifications. Develop corrective action plans and provide compensatory education for students identified as not receiving required IEP services. Parents are not being notified of minutes missed and no current system to make up for them. Parents should be encouraged to review this information against their originally signed IEP to verify that approved services are being implemented as written and that appropriate plans are in place to address any missed services. This process would increase transparency, accountability, and compliance with IEP requirements while enabling parents to participate meaningfully in monitoring their child’s education.
