ESSU Schedule for General Supervision and Monitoring Engagement

This schedule is intended to support a partnership between the Department and each Administrative Unit to meet the requirements outlined in 1 CCR 301-8 (7.05) and 34 CFR 300.(149, 600, 601, 602, 606, 607, and 608). The schedule is further designed to provide a framework for systemic general supervision and monitoring by the Department. Every effort will be made to adhere to the schedule; however, there may be circumstances that require general monitoring activities outside of the published schedule. Such circumstances will be determined on a case by case basis.
