On Friday, July, 5, 2019 Pat Hozella, Interim Director of the PA Bureau of Special Education, disseminated a Penn*Link memo to all LEAs titled Indicator 13: What Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) Need to Know for Compliance Monitoring for Continuous Improvement (CMCI).

The memo stated that in response to the accountability requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004, Part B State Performance Plans, the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN) will be providing a required training session for LEAs targeted for CMCI for the 2019-2020 school year.  The training will prepare LEAs for the requirements of compliance monitoring as it relates to secondary transition and to highlight effective practices in secondary transition. All targeted LEAs listed below, along with their transition support team, should participate in the upcoming training webinar. Team members may include any educational staff that are involved in the administration and supervision of special education programs (e.g., special education directors, building principals, transition coordinators, etc.).

The webinar will be held on Friday, September 13, 2019 from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM. Registration is available on PaTTAN’s website at www.pattan.net.
