    1. Maine’s Birth to 20 General Supervision System Putting it all Together

    2. 2 General Supervision Under federal law States are required to have a system of general supervision that monitors the implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The system is accountable for enforcing the requirements and for ensuring continuous improvement.

    3. 3 The primary focus of Federal and State monitoring activities shall be: improving results and functional outcomes for all children with disabilities; and ensuring that States meet the program requirements under this part, with a particular emphasis on those requirements that are most closely related to improving early intervention results for infants and toddlers with disabilities. General Supervision

    4. 4 There are at least three explicit expectations for developing an effective system of general supervision. Supports practices that improve developmental results and functional outcomes for all children with disabilities and their families; Uses multiple methods to identify noncompliance and correct it as soon as possible but no later than one year after the noncompliance is identified; and Utilizes mechanisms to encourage and support improvement and to enforce compliance.

    12. 12 Determinations What should States consider in making their “Determinations?” States MUST consider Performance on compliance indicators Whether data submitted is valid, reliable, and timely Uncorrected noncompliance from other sources Any audit findings States could also consider Performance on results indicators Other information Each determination level will consist of specific requirements the program must complete to respond to their determination level.

    19. 19 Findings of Noncompliance What is a finding? A finding is a written notification from the State to an LEA/EIS program that contains the State’s conclusion of noncompliance A finding must be made for any area of noncompliance found Written notification of a finding needs to occur as soon as possible after the State determines noncompliance A finding of noncompliance must be corrected as soon as possible but no later than one year after identification

    20. 20 Correction of Noncompliance Prong 1 – SAU has corrected each individual case of noncompliance; and Prong 2 – SAU is correctly implementing the specific regulatory requirements (i.e. achieved 100% compliance), based on review of updated data.
