If a district is engaged in correspondence with the agency to remove a school from the list, does the notification letter to parents still need to be sent by February 1?
Yes. Because the outcome of the correspondence is unknown, districts must comply with statute by notifying parents of the school’s status as of February 1. However, the notification can include a statement that communication with the agency is in progress, and that the school’s PEG status may change.
