Possible Follow-up Questions: Questions designed to more closely examine areas addressed by the General Information. The questions included within this section are examples of what may be asked; OSEP may ask additional questions that are not listed to ensure understanding.

Areas (or issues) for Follow-up: Issues which could:

  • result in findings of noncompliance if verified, or areas of concern that may not rise tothe level of a finding of noncompliance butrequire follow-up;
  • lead to a finding of noncompliance if the State does not have a process or procedure to meet the Basic Requirement; or
  • be areas that suggest the need for technical assistance or further discussion.
