isbe's finding on delayed cps special education evaluations
DESCRIPTION
In June 2010, the watchdog group Equip for Equality complained to the state that 13 children whose Head Start teachers noticed red flags on screenings had not been evaluated by CPS within the 60-day time frame specified by federal law. The group said at the time that hundreds more children were affected.In late August, the Illinois State Board of Education issued a finding that required CPS to remedy the situation and move forward on the evaluations of the students named in the complaint.TRANSCRIPT
