State audits find Medfield Public Schools in full compliance across special education, EL and federal grant reviews
Summary
State monitoring (DESIE) integrated reviews of special education, civil rights, English learner services and federal-grant programs found Medfield Public Schools fully implemented required standards and required no corrective actions, the superintendent reported Aug. 25.
District staff told the school committee on Aug. 25 that the state’s periodic monitoring reviews found Medfield Public Schools in full compliance across the areas reviewed.
Mary summarized a yearlong review process (summer 2024–June 2025) that included an Integrated Monitoring Review (IMR) focused on special education systems, a civil-rights evaluation, English learner (EL) monitoring and federal-grant monitoring for Title I–IV programs. The work included data discovery, document uploads, staff interviews, surveys and an on-site file review. For the IMR the state examined identification, IEP development, programming and support services; for EL the state reviewed screening, placement, verification records and parent engagement; the federal-grant review looked at grant-writtten procedures, implementation and follow-up.
Mary reported the department found the district "in complete compliance with all criteria" and that no corrective action or follow-up report was required. Committee members commended staff for coordinating the reviews and noted the positive exit interview feedback from state reviewers.
Mary and superintendent Dr. Marson said the results reflect district-wide effort and that staff will continue to build on identified strengths and next-step goals.
