The following information is being sent to ESD and district special education directors:

The purpose of this notification is to inform school districts that the IDEA Compliance Package—iGrants Form Package 442 is now available for the 2021–22 school year. IDEA Compliance Package—iGrants Form Package 642 is also available to Educational Service Agency 112 (ESA 112) on behalf of ESA member districts.

Form Packages 442 and 642 contain formal notification of non-compliance identified through the Washington Integrated System of Monitoring (WISM), safety net, district data submissions, indicator performance, and due process decisions.

All issues of non-compliance are required to be corrected by the LEA/ESA as soon as possible but no later than April 1, 2022 (see WAC 392-172A-07010 (3)). A summary of the corrections must be submitted through pages two and three of the Form Package 442/642. Failure to complete corrections in a timely manner will impact the LEA’s/ESA’s 2021–22 Determination Level to be issued November 2022. Districts should log on to the Form Package 442 in iGrants and review the non-compliance worksheet on page one of the form package. This worksheet will inform the district if there is non-compliance that is required to be addressed and if so, what specifically needs to be corrected.

Important Notes:

iGrants Form Package 442/642 is only required to be completed and submitted to OSPI if the LEA/ESA has non-compliance identified on the Non-Compliance Worksheet found on page one of the form package.
IEPs that were submitted for safety net reimbursement in 2020–21 and were not fully funded due to non-compliance issues are listed on page two – Student Specific Corrections of iGrants Form Package 442/642. Should the district wish to submit the IEP for safety net reimbursement in 2021–22, the IEP should be corrected by the district and verified by the ESD prior to submission. All non-compliant IEPs will be pro-rated from the date of 442/642 correction, if not corrected and verified prior to the beginning of the 2021–22 school year.
With regard to actions required as part of a due process decision, even if the student has transferred out of the district, there may still be actions required (for example, ordered compensatory education). If you have questions about a due process order for a student who is no longer under the jurisdiction of the district, contact WISM@k12.wa.us or 360‑725-6075.

For assistance with accessing Form Package 442, contact your district security manager. A list of district security managers can be found under ‘Obtain User Login Credentials’ on the main iGrants login page.
