Heartland has received status letters from the Department of Education on selected State Performance Plan indicators used to determine AEA compliance with state and federal mandates. On Part C indicators, Heartland was in compliance with all areas of emphasis except 45-Day Timelines. In this area, we had 95.59% compliance on the 100% target and are considered to be in substantial compliance. This was excellent news and is a tribute to the hard work of our Early ACCESS staff.
On Part B indicators, Heartland was in compliance with all areas of emphasis except Transition from C to B and 60-Day Timelines. We were minimally compliant in Transition and were moderately compliant in 60-Day Timelines. The good news is that in all areas considered, Heartland has made excellent progress. Using our on-going monitoring processes with the support of Special Education Clerks and Assessment Team members, we have every reason to believe we have made progress beyond our reported results during this year and are on track for meeting our goals.
This has been a successful team effort. In the current light of very high accountability standards, we want to commend our staff for your efforts toward meeting our targets. We know that without the diligent work of our staff day in and day out we would not be able to make this important growth. Thank you for all of your time and attention to making an important difference for Heartland’s children and helping us meet our compliance targets.
