Executive Summary

BSE Compliance Monitoring Reviewof the

Achievement House Cyber CS

PART I

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

A. Review Process

Prior to the Bureau's monitoring the week of March 20, 2017, the Achievement House Cyber CS was

formally notified of the dates the onsite review would be conducted. Notice and invitation to comment

was also provided to the Local Task Force on Right-to-Education. The charter school was informed of

its responsibility to compile various reports, written policies, and procedures to document compliance

with requirements.

While onsite, the monitoring team employed a variety of techniques to gain an in depth understanding of

the charter school's program operations. This included:

• Interviews of charter school administrative and instructional personnel

• Review of policies, notices, plans, outcome and performance data, special education forms and

formats, and data reports used and compiled by the charter school (Facilitated Self-Assessment)

• Comprehensive case studies (including classroom observations, interviews of parents, students, and

general and special education teachers, and student file reviews).

B. General Findings

In reaching compliance determinations, the Bureau of Special Education (BSE) monitoring teams apply

criteria contained in federal and state special education regulations. Specifically, these are:

• Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004

• 22 Pa. Code Chapter 711

• 34 CFR Part 300

This report focuses on compliance with regulatory requirements and also contains descriptive

information (such as interview and survey results) intended to provide feedback to assist in program

planning.

C. Overall Findings

1. FACILITATED SELF ASSESSMENT (FSA)

The team reviewed the FSA submitted by the charter school and conducted onsite verification

activities of the information submitted in the FSA. The onsite verification activities included

review of policies, notices, procedures, and file reviews.

2. FILE REVIEW (Student case studies)

The education records of randomly selected students participating in special education programs

were studied to determine whether the charter school complied with essential requirements.

The status of compliance of the Achievement House Cyber CS is as follows:

3. TEACHER AND PARENT INTERVIEWS

Interviews were conducted with parents and teachers of students selected by the BSE for the

sample group. The goal is to determine if the charter school involves parents and professionals

in required processes (e.g., evaluation, IEP development), whether programs and services are

being provided, and whether the charter school provides training to enhance knowledge. Parent

and teacher satisfaction with the special education program is also generally assessed.

PART II

CORRECTIVE ACTION PROCESS


PART I of this report presented an overall summary of findings. In the Appendix to the report, we have

provided the detailed findings for each of the criteria of the compliance monitoring document, i.e. FSA, File

Reviews, Interviews and Classroom Observations. The detailed report of findings includes:

• Criteria Number

• Statements of all requirements

• Whether each requirement was met, not met, not applicable or other

• Statements of corrective action required for those criteria not met. Criteria not met that require corrective

action by the charter school are gray-shaded.

Charter schools are advised that in accordance with requirements of the Individuals with DisabilitiesEducation Act, all noncompliance must be corrected as soon as possible but in no case later than one yearfrom the date of the monitoring report. The BSE is required to verify timely correction of noncompliance,

and must report annually to the federal government and the public on this requirement.

Upon receipt of this report, the charter school should review the corrective action and improvement planning

required. The report is formatted so that findings from all components of the monitoring are consolidated by

topical area. The report lists the finding, and whether corrective action is required. For certain types of

findings, corrective action will be prescribed, and will not vary from charter school to charter school. For

example, if the finding is that the charter school lacks a specific required policy, it is reasonable to have the

BSE prescribe a standardized remedy and timeline for correcting this deficiency. However, the majority of

corrective action activities will be individually designed by the charter school based on their own unique

circumstances and goals. Consistent with IDEA's general supervision requirements for states, BSE must

approve all proposed corrective action.

With respect to the File Review, because students were selected at random, findings are generalized to the

entire population of students with disabilities. During the corrective action review, the BSE Advisor will

select students at random and will review updated data, i.e. records that were developed subsequent to the

monitoring. Consequently, the charter school should approach corrective action on a systemic basis. As

indicated above, the charter school is also required to correct student specific noncompliance identified during

monitoring under the ICAP process. If there has been a finding of noncompliance in the Educational Benefit

Review component, the individual students are identified to the charter school and, because of the significance

of the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to these students; the charter school must take

immediate corrective action.

The BSE Adviser will schedule an onsite visit with the charter school within 60 days following issuance of

the monitoring report. The BSE Adviser, charter school, and PaTTAN staff will develop a Charter School

Corrective Action Verification/Compliance and Improvement Plan. PaTTAN and IU staff is available to

assist the charter school.

Upon conclusion of the corrective action process, the charter school will be notified of its successful

completion of the monitoring process.
