Our objective was to determine whether Baltimore County Public Schools (Baltimore County) designed and implemented sufficient processes for overseeing the development of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for children with disabilities and ensuring that those children receive the services described in their IEPs. The inspection covered Baltimore County’s processes in these areas from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
We found that Baltimore County designed and implemented sufficient processes for overseeing the development of IEPs and ensuring that children with disabilities receive the services described in their IEPs. Exclusive of a small number of exceptions, our testing of IEPs and related documentation for a sample of 25 students found that the IEPs included required information and applicable IEP requirements were met and that students received the services described in their IEPs. Because Baltimore County designed and implemented sufficient processes for overseeing the development of IEPs and ensuring that children with disabilities receive the services described in their IEPs, we do not make any recommendations in this report.
