Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Office of Public School Monitoring (PSM) Integrated Monitoring Review

October 22, 2025

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Office of Public School Monitoring (PSM) will conduct an Integrated Monitoring Review of Pembroke Public Schools during the week of December 1, 2025. Each school district, charter school, vocational school, and virtual school undergoes an Integrated Monitoring Review every three years.

The areas addressed during an Integrated Monitoring Review are organized into two groups, known as Group A Universal Standards and Group B Universal Standards. Pembroke Public Schools will be undergoing a Group B monitoring review that addresses special education teacher and related service personnel licensure; special education professional development, parent, student, and community engagement, including compliance with Child Find requirements; facilities and classroom observations; implementation and oversight of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs); time and learning; and equal access.

The process includes interviews with district staff and administrators, review of policies and procedures, and school building visits. The process may also include parent/caregiver, student, and teacher focus group meetings to gather additional information. Interpretation will be provided, if needed.

For more information about the review process, please visit the Parent Resources page at PSM Parent Resources.

The Department will also send a parent survey, in multiple languages and formats, as needed, to parents/guardians of special education students to gather key information on the special education processes and procedures.

Parents/guardians and other interested persons may call Julie Evans, Monitoring Review Chairperson, at (781) 338-3754 to request a telephone interview. If anyone requires an accommodation, such as translation, to participate in an interview, the Department will make the necessary arrangements.

Within approximately 60 business days after the onsite visit, the review chairperson will provide the district with a report that includes information on further actions that may be required. The public can access the report at https://www.doe.mass.edu/psm/tfm/default.html

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to ensure high-quality special education services for all students.

Should you have any further questions about this process, please contact me.

Thank you,
Jessica DeLorenzo
Director of Student Services
