March 11, 2026
Case Number:
26-0372
Grade Level:
High school
Person filing complaint:
Parent
School District:
Bridgeport Public Schools
Allegation(s):
- Issue 1: The Parent alleged that the District had not provided the IEP as of January 20, 2026, for the PPT meeting held on December 8, 2025. RCSA § 10-76d-13(a)(6))
Conclusion(s):
- The District generated the draft IEP for the PPT meeting held on December 8, 2025, on January 20, 2026. Taking into consideration the District’s holiday recess, the IEP was generated 21 school days following the PPT meeting on December 8, 2025. Although the District cited an oversight in finalizing the IEP in CT-SEDS, it does not negate the fact that the District did not draft the IEP until January 20, 2026. Therefore, the District is in violation of RCSA § 10-76d-13(a)(6). Corrective action is required.
Corrective Action(s):
- The District must review the required timelines of RCSA § 10-76d-13(a)(6) with the responsible PPT members present at the PPT meeting held on December 8, 2025. The content of the review and staff signatures and date of completion must be sent to this investigator on or before April 1, 2026.
- The District must provide this investigator with a copy of the checklist and tracking system that the District supervisor put in place in response to this complaint (Fact #7).
- The District must provide this investigator with the SASIDs of five students under the supervisor whose PPTs convene after the training and no later than May 29, 2026, so that this office may review the generation and finalization dates of IEPs through CT-SEDS to ensure compliance with RCSA § 10-76d-13(a)(6).
