Is the intermediate school district required to monitor special education programs and services?
Yes. A PSA is identified in statute as a local public school district and has the same rights and responsibilities as any other school district. The Michigan Department of Education is required to monitor local and intermediate school districts for compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and with Michigan’s Revised Administrative Rules for Special Education. This activity includes a PSA. The intermediate school districts are an integral part of the monitoring process. As such, intermediate school districts must monitor a PSA to ensure their compliance with pertinent special education requirements.
