Date of Notification: (Date report is certified)


Your district was assigned to report data for the 2015-16 school year on State Performance Plan (SPP) Indicator 12, which is the percent of children referred by Part C (Early Intervention (EI)) prior to age 3, who are found eligible for Part B (preschool special education services), and who have an IEP developed and implemented by their third birthdays or in compliance with timelines established in State law. You have submitted data for this indicator through the Special Education Events template in the chain that begins with an Event Type Code EI01 (initial referral from Early Intervention to the CPSE).

Your district's report indicates that  XX.X percent of children referred by the Part C, EI Program prior to age 3, who were found to be eligible for Part B, preschool special education programs and services had their IEPs developed and implemented prior to their third birthdays or in compliance with timelines established in State law. Data used to compute your compliance rate are provided below. The State target for this indicator is that 100% of children referred by Part C prior to age 3, who are found eligible for Part B will have their IEPs developed and implemented by their third birthdays or in compliance with timelines established in State law.

School districts are required to correct any noncompliance as soon as possible. The reasons reported by your district for delays in providing special education services to children transition from EI to preschool special education may assist you in addressing issues leading to noncompliance.

Your district must take the actions identified in the section indicated by an X:

  X   None. Your school district has a 100% compliance rate for this indicator or your school district did not have any students referred from EI or your school district did not have any eligible children that required their IEPs to be implemented by their third birthdays or all reasons for delay in implementing the IEP by the student’s third birthday were in compliance with State requirements. Thank you for your efforts in ensuring timely implementation of IEPs of children referred by Part C for preschool special education programs and services.

  X   Your school district's compliance rate is less than 100%. This is notification that your school district is not in compliance with the following regulatory citation:

34 CFR §300.124 – Transition of children from the Part C program to preschool programs. By the third birthday of a child participating in early intervention programs, an IEP has been developed and is being implemented for the child.

Your district must take the following actions:

AND

When the required documentation is complete and available for review by NYSED, you are ready to report the correction of noncompliance. You report this correction of noncompliance by submitting up to TWO online assurances.

  1. In the first assurance (Part 1), the district will assure that for each identified student, if any, who did not receive their preschool special education services by their third birthday or within the timeline required by State regulations, and for whom data was not already available in SIRS, the student has since had his or her IEP developed and implemented or if not, there is a reason that is in compliance with State requirements.

  2. In the second assurance (Part 2), the district will assure that it has addressed the reasons why the children did not have their eligibility for preschool special education determined and, if found eligible, have their IEPs developed and implemented by the third birthday or within the timeline required by State regulations.

These assurances are to be provided by logging onto the PD data system at http://pd.nysed.gov.  The Statements of Assurances will be available for your use under the 2015-16 school year heading, under “End-of-Year Verification Reports,” at the bottom of the VR12 Notification.
