SEA reviews district submissions of plans If District DOES NOT SUBMIT a review of a plan SEA will review the plan and the district will have 60 business days to submit a review addressing the SEA’s comments of the plan. In addition, this non submission will INCREASE the district’s risk factor in being monitored for the upcoming year. If Districts review is INCOMPLETE or DOES NOT DEMONSTRATE a sufficient review. SEA will review the plan and the district will have 60 business days to submit a review addressing the SEA’s comments of the plan. In addition, this would be a CONSIDERATION when determining the district’s risk factor for being monitored for the upcoming year.
