This is thanks to huge work over the past year.<br />o OPSI notified us Monday the district has demonstrated compliance with systemic changes in Special Ed<br />services across all five regions and the district’s central office.<br />o The Northwest Region of the district met the minimum criteria of the verification standards listed on the<br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the district and OSPI.<br />o The Northwest was the first region selected for an on-site verification process in mid-October where OSPI<br />conducted a random review of students’ Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and evaluations, observed<br />classrooms and interviewed staff. Five (5) schools were selected and more than 65 IEP and evaluations were<br />reviewed for compliance and application of special education services. As a result of the verification of the<br />Northwest Region, SPS will receive $500,000 from the current $3 million withholding of Individuals with<br />Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funding that dates back to the 2013-14 school year. The next region to go<br />through the OSPI on-site verification process is the Southwest region. This is a yet another great positive sign<br />for the team in Special Ed all across the district. I want to acknowledge their tremendous work on<br />improvements by staff all across the district.<br /><br /><b> I attended the Northwest OSPI special education meeting and can rebut everything Nyland wrote about progress and meeting compliance requirements.</b><br /><br />You simply have to compare what Nyland wrote to what the Stevens administrator wrote to see SPS and OSPI are dishonest.
