Background: The Procedural Compliance Self Assessment (PCSA) includes a school-based assessment aspect that is completed annually during the spring. At that time, an annual measurement of compliance is completed by each school in the district. The results of the measurement are reported by school and by district-level. The school data is used to form the goals and action steps for special education compliance in each individual School Improvement Plan (SIP). The district data is used to analyze district supports and to develop plans of improvement for district-wide systems that serve students with disabilities.

Each school receives the results of the 2019-20 PCSA with the expectation that data will be included in the school-wide planning for the 2020-21 school year. Each school is required to include plans within their SIP to address all of the individual compliance items that were measured below 100% and are, therefore, considered to be in need of intensive monitoring. The target for the PCSA is to achieve (and maintain) 100% in each of the identified compliance items. Federal oversight requires 100% compliance.

While conducting the annual assessment, Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) was closed due the public health order on March 18, 2020. DPI agreed to an adjusted timeline and MPS entered PCSA responses for IEP Implementation and Discipline items into the DPI Reporting Tool on April 17, 2020.
