What's Possible. You are a...

• Director of Special Education under a state corrective action plan

  CAP Implementation — Full state compliance clearance achieved in 14 months

  The Challenge: A district received a state monitoring finding identifying 23 separate IDEA Part B compliance violations, including failures in evaluation timelines, IEP meeting attendance, and Extended School Year (ESY) eligibility determination.

  The Solution: We led the corrective action response from start to finish: prioritizing findings by severity, designing specific remediation activities for each violation, building a compliance tracking dashboard, and writing all required state reporting documents. We achieved full clearance in 14 months.

  Timeline: Findings Triage → Root Cause Analysis → CAP Development → Monthly State Reporting → Full Clearance

• Superintendent managing a pattern of costly due process hearings

  Due Process Risk Reduction — Reduced hearing requests by 78% in two years

  The Challenge: A large suburban district was averaging 12 due process hearing requests per year, costing $400K+ annually in legal fees and staff time. A pattern analysis revealed most disputes stemmed from inadequate IEP team communication and vague PLOP statements.

  The Solution: We conducted an IEP quality audit across the district, retrained all case managers and evaluation staff, redesigned the district's PLOP and goal-writing templates, and established a pre-hearing mediation protocol. Hearing requests dropped 78% in year two.

  Timeline: Due Process Pattern Analysis → IEP Quality Audit → Staff Retraining → Template Redesign → Mediation Protocol Launch

• CFO discovering a district has been leaving Medicaid reimbursements unclaimed

  Medicaid Compliance Cleanup — $1.8M in unclaimed reimbursements recovered

  The Challenge: A district of 9,000 students had been providing Medicaid-reimbursable special education services for years but had never established a proper billing infrastructure. An estimated $1.8M in eligible services had gone unreimbursed.

  The Solution: We audited the district's Medicaid billing eligibility, established a SPED Medicaid billing program, trained service providers on documentation requirements, and coordinated with the state Medicaid agency to process retroactive claims where permitted.

  Timeline: Eligibility Audit → Billing Infrastructure Setup → Staff Documentation Training → Retroactive Claims → Ongoing Billing Program
