Dear Mr. Collins: The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has reviewed Harbor School's submitted Corrective Action Plan dated May 10, 2004. Please be advised of the following approval status for this program: Approval Status: PROVISIONAL APPROVAL As result of a review of the private school's Corrective Action Plan, the Department has determined that the program does not meet all approval requirements; however, the program has in place specific timelines and detailed plans in order to achieve full compliance with all special education regulations. Additionally, the Department has determined that the program has mechanisms in place to meet health and safety standards and is able to demonstrate specific steps that will be taken to carry out the provisions of each enrolled student's IEP. Therefore, the Department is issuing a Provisional Approval for a period not to exceed six months and is indicated on the attached Approval Certificate. During this period, the private school must submit to the Department progress reports that address the issues that do not meet all approval requirements as determined through the review of the corrective action plan and/or any onsite visit conducted by the Department. Please be advised that the attached Approval Certificate must be conspicuously posted in a public place within the program as required by 603 CMR 28.09. Finally, we are advising you that the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is issuing its approval of this program with the absolute expectation that the program will provide the Department with prior notice of all substantial changes in the program (see Form 1 included in current Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Application Procedures) for these programs and timely reports of all incidents occurring in the program (see Form 2) as required by Board of Education Regulations. If the agency intends to establish another program (and/or a Reconstructed Private Program) which requires the Department's prior approval under 603 CMR 28.09, the agency must make notice to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education using Form 3. Please note that the failure of an agency to submit a required application for the prior approval of the Department for a public or private day or residential school program does not lead to an obligation on the part of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to approve that program if it does not meet all the standards for approval in Board of Education Regulations. The Department would be pleased to provide you with further information about your program's approval status noted above. Please contact Kerrin Morrin if this assistance is required. The telephone number is (781) 388-3740. Thank you for your cooperation in this program review and approval process. Sincerely, Kerrin E. Morrin Caryn N. Goldberg
