Understanding Michigan's General Supervision System for Special Education

Understanding Michigan\'s General Supervision System for Special Education

As a Special Education Director, it's crucial to stay informed about the systems and regulations that shape our work. One such critical system is Michigan's General Supervision System, designed to monitor and support the implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004 in local education agencies (LEAs).

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) Office of Special Education (OSE) aims to align with Michigan's Top 10 Strategic Education Plan while fulfilling the federal obligation to develop an effective general supervision system. This system acts as an accountability mechanism to improve educational results and functional outcomes for children and youth with disabilities. It ensures that LEAs meet the program requirements of IDEA, with a focus on those requirements most closely related to improvements.

In Michigan, intermediate school districts (ISDs) serve as subrecipients of IDEA grant funds and function as LEAs. Their responsibility includes supporting member districts in improving results and ensuring program requirements are met.

Michigan's general supervision system consists of eight separate but interrelated components:

Each component plays a vital role in maintaining a robust and effective special education system in Michigan. By understanding and engaging with these components, LEAs and ISDs can better support their students with disabilities, ensuring they receive the quality education they deserve.
