Request Closeout

Before requesting closeout of the B-13 Corrective Action activity, the district must be prepared to provide supporting evidence to demonstrate the selected method(s) have been completed and the IDEA regulations are being implemented correctly.

Districts must request closeout by February 1 although this may be completed in a much shorter time. The due date is displayed in the deadline column of the Tasks Overview.

Verification and Closeout Next Steps

After implementing the selected Corrective Action method(s) and correcting the identified noncompliance, the verification of correction process begins. There are two prongs of verification of correction required by the OSEP and implemented by the MDE:

  • Prong 1: The district has corrected the individual case of noncompliance; and
  • Prong 2: The district is correctly implementing the specific regulatory requirements (i.e., has achieved 100% compliance), based on the State’s review of updated data.

Verification activities will be completed by the ISD and may include:

  • A review of student records
  • A review of evidence that training or technical assistance was completed
  • Interviews of district staff

Based on this review, the MDE will establish the district is correctly implementing the specific statutory or regulatory requirements and the identified noncompliance has been corrected. Once evidence of correction can be verified, the MDE will close the Corrective Action, and issue a closeout letter in the May Catamaran release of the following year.
