This correspondence is to inform you that your district has been determined to
“meet
requirements” with regard to implementation of special education requirements for the
2012-2013 school year. This determination is based on the following criteria:
- The district does not have outstanding noncompliance that has remained uncorrected for more than one calendar year;
- The district was not identified for significant disproportionality with regard to the representation of specific racial/ethnic groups in special education for the 2012-2013 school year;
- The district was not selected for a targeted review or monitoring based on a high rate of students with disabilities in separate public or private educational settings; and
- The district was not identified for untimely or inaccurate submission of student data regarding students with disabilities.
Pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004), Section
616(a)(1)(C)(i), states are required to issue a determination annually, of each local school
district, regarding the correction of any identified noncompliance with special education
requirements. In accordance with this requirement, the New Jersey Department of
Education, Office of Special Education Programs (NJOSEP), has reviewed your district’s
data relevant to the criteria listed above and detailed in the enclosure and has made the
determination that your district meets requirements. The district should maintain
administrative oversight in order to ensure continued compliance with special education
requirements.
