Each EI/ECSE Service Area across the state receives an annual determination letter that identifies its performance level based on IDEA requirements and state monitoring data. These determinations reflect the extent to which the Service Area meets compliance and results expectations and help guide support, oversight, and improvement efforts.
Determination Levels:
- Meets Requirements – The Service Area is in substantial compliance with IDEA and state requirements, with no significant areas of concern.
- Needs Assistance – The Service Area has one or more areas requiring targeted support or improvement.
- Needs Intervention – The Service Area demonstrates more significant or persistent areas of noncompliance or low performance that require intensive support and oversight.
- Needs Substantial Intervention – The Service Area has critical or systemic issues requiring immediate and significant state involvement and corrective action.
