Differentiated Monitoring and Support Reports and Letters

To safeguard access, Special Education Action has begun archiving DMS reports and status letters directly on its site instead of linking to unstable USDOE URLs.

Nov 10, 2025

When U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) rolled out its redesigned site in 2024, broken links took up residence where federal oversight once lived. Pages that once housed documents such as Differentiated Monitoring and Support (DMS) reports, guidance documents, and Dear Colleague letters now redirect—or vanished entirely.

To safeguard access, Special Education Action has begun archiving DMS reports and status letters directly on its site instead of linking to unstable USDOE URLs. (Additional Reading: We Need to Preserve What U.S. Department of Education Continues to Remove)

About the List Below

The following documents were taken from both the old DMS Part B page (still accessible as of 11.10.25) and the new Parts B and C DMS page. Links from the old page no longer open the referenced files; I’m working to locate and add downloadable versions. Newer links have been converted to direct downloads.

Important: This is not a complete collection. USDOE often posts DMS reports and letters years late—or not at all. If a record isn’t listed on either of the pages mentioned above, it may still be unpublished by USDOE. For this reason, I’ve added notes under states with missing materials. For example, the Bureau of Indian Affairs section includes a 2021 closure letter addressing only some of the issues identified in 2019. Where are the corresponding status reports or closure letters for the remaining issues? Are the remaining issues even closed? If not, why not?

Request: If you have DMS records not listed here or missing from the downloads, please consider sharing them so they can be added to the list.

Please Check Back: I’ll continue adding records as they’re found. Please check back periodically for updates.
