Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

We are reaching out to inform you that Maumee City Schools has been selected to participate in Ohio’s Preschool Special Education Tier 3 IDEA Monitoring Process for the 2024-2025 school year. This process is conducted by the Department of Children and Youth to ensure that all districts are providing high-quality services that meet federal and state requirements for preschool special education for children with disabilities.

This monitoring process is a routine review that helps schools like ours continuously improve the services and support we provide to children with disabilities. It focuses on areas such as:
·	Ensuring timely evaluations and services
·	Providing support in the least restrictive environment ·	Engaging families in their child’s education
·	Supporting preschool educators and service providers

As part of this process, families of preschool children receiving special education services will have the opportunity to share their input through a parent perception survey. Your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us improve our programs and services.

If you have any questions about this review process or would like more information, please feel free to reach out to the District Point of Contact for this review process:

Thank you for your ongoing partnership in supporting our youngest learners!

Sincerely,

Director of Educational Services
