Directions for Review of Records
Student records must be selected randomly.
For Item #49, at least 10% of records of students age 16 and older are selected.
No more than 50 records are required to be reviewed. If the district has 10 or fewer records for Item #49, then all student records for that item must be reviewed.
Violations of IDEA that can be remedied During the record review process, districts may find items in student records that are violations of IDEA. Some of these violations may be remedied depending on the nature of the violation.
If remedied prior to submission of the data to KDE, the violation is considered corrected. It is not reported in the district’s data report as noncompliant.
In most cases it will be necessary to convene an ARC to remedy the violation. The documentation of the ARC must reflect authentic and appropriate processes and remedies.
Correction of Noncompliance
Correction of NoncomplianceExamples of violations that may be remedied include:
• Failure to document postsecondary goals in the IEP (#49a)• Failure to document transition services in the IEP (#49b)• Failure to invite outside agencies (with prior consent) to the ARC meeting to discuss transition (#49c)• Failure to document the student’s multi-year course of study (#49e)• Failure to link annual goals to related postsecondary goals (#49f)• Failure to document evidence of transition assessment (#49g)• Failure to invite the student to the ARC meeting to discuss transition (#49h)
Correction of Noncompliance
Violations of IDEA that are reported as noncompliance Some violations of IDEA identified during the district’s record review cannot be remedied in individual student records due to the nature of the violation. These must be reported as noncompliant in the district’s data report.
Correction of NoncomplianceExamples include:
• inviting outside agencies to ARC meetings prior to obtaining parent consent (#49d)
• missing the timeline for updating postsecondary goals annually (#49i)
• not having transition requirements in the IEP by the student’s 16th birthday (#50)
Correction of NoncomplianceThough these violations cannot be remedied, the district
must correct the noncompliance in the individual student’s record, unless the student is no longer under the district’s jurisdiction. For example, failure to meet the timeline for an IEP with transition requirements met by 16th birthday cannot be remedied; however, it can be corrected for that student by ensuring an appropriate IEP is in place, though out of timeline. Systemic correction may also be required.
