Massachusetts is a state of firsts. The first public library in the United States. The first university. Even the first public park. It should come as no surprise then that state education staff in the Bay State are hard at work pioneering new solutions to complex LEA Determinations. On this latest episode of A Date with Data, host Amy Bitterman sits down with Jamie Camacho, State Director of Special Education from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Greg Tobey, IDEA Data Supervisor, and David Lowe from SPED Strategies, to discuss the tools and resources the Massachusetts DOE makes available to support districts with this important process.
