Partially agrees with the importance of timely IEPs, acknowledges that isolated missed timelines may occur and disputes evidence of systemic failure; says specific cases and metrics were not identified.
Read official response · PDF page 5Agreement with a principle is not a clear admission of the finding’s factual claim. The response does not identify which actual delays it accepts or rejects, while rebutting a systemic characterization not expressly required by the finding. Its partial position/disputed scope is incomplete. Monitoring descriptions are specific but no case-level compliance data are supplied.
