Auditors say the state was moderately effective in monitoring Michigan school districts to ensure they have effective special education programs. A state audit released last week says the Office of Special Education didnt flag students noncompliance with annual goals and didnt ensure there were appropriate caseloads at four of seven audited school districts and charter schools. Auditors also say the state doesnt interview parents of special education students when conducting on-site reviews at school districts, but should do so for their feedback. The audit did conclude the office was effective in investigating and resolving complaints related to special education services.
