Do not adopt these changes: state peer review and fund accountability are essential.
 

Five year plans must be peer reviewed to ensure consistency across the state.  Sharing of information and policy is necessary to ensure all students are given a fair chance to qualify for services no matter where they live.  Additionally, state accountability is essential to ensure that designated funds are used for their intended purpose.
