Date of Notification:    

Your district is assigned to report data for the 2007-08 school year on State Performance Plan Indicator 11, which is "percent of children (preschool and school age) with parental consent to evaluate, who were evaluated within State established timelines. You have submitted data for this indicator through the Special Education Events template in two chains, CPSE01 and CSE01. This indicator requires that you report on all preschool children regardless of the source of referral. This means children who are referred from Early Intervention are included in the CPSE01 chain. Also, all school age students for whom your district has CSE responsibility should be included regardless of where students were enrolled at the time of referral (e.g., Charter school, parentally placed in a nonpublic school, home-schooled, etc.).

This report is your school district's compliance report. Once you verify your data as complete and accurate, this becomes your notification and you must take the actions identified below.

Your district's report indicates that _____ percent of preschool children and _____ percent of school age students received their evaluations and eligibility determinations within the State's required timelines.

The State target for this indicator as stated in NYS' State Performance Plan is that 100 percent of students referred for an initial evaluation for whom parental consent for evaluation has been obtained will be evaluated for initial determination of eligibility for special education within the required State timelines.

School districts are required to take steps to correct any noncompliance as soon as possible but no later than one year from notification of noncompliance.
