State Performance PlanAnnual Performance Report Results, Trends, and General Supervision Activities
The SPP and APR • SPP – State Performance Plan that shows baseline data (1st year of reporting), then rigorous targets for the “life” of the SPP (along 20 Indicators) • APR – Annual Performance Report submitted Feb. 1st that describes whether or not the state achieved/met the targets outlined in the SPP
APR Reporting Years • For Indicators 3, 5-14, 16-19, & 20, the APR is based on data for the preceding school year: • Feb. 1, 2010 (based on FFY08; 08-09 school year) • Feb. 1, 2011 (based on FFY09; 09-10) • Feb. 1, 2012 (based on FFY10; 10-11)
APR Reporting Years, cont’d • Indicators 1-2, & 4A & B are based on the two prior school years: • Feb 1, 2010 (based on FFY07; 07-08 school year) • Feb. 1, 2011 (based on FFY08; 08-09 s.y.) • Feb. 1, 2012 (based on FFY09; 09-10 s.y.) • Ind. 15 is based on 2+ preceding school years
“Performance” vs. “Compliance” • “Performance” indicators are those for which the OSEP is interested in the state setting “rigorous,” measurable targets, based on baseline and historical performance. These percentages range in value. • “Compliance” indicators are those for which the OSEP has mandated either a “0%” or “100%” target for states to meet (Ind. 4B, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 for LEAs and the state; and 20 for the state). These indicators also relate to child-entitlement regulations (i.e., all or none).

Indicators 4A and 4B • For FFY 2009, states were required to collect and report data for Part B Indicator 4B, using data from the 2008-2009 school year. • 4B is a “compliance” indicator • Given this change, and limitations to the old definition of 4A, SC decided to change its definition of “significant discrepancy” for 4A while crafting the new definition of 4B
Regulatory Citation • 34 CFR § 300.170 Suspension and expulsion rates. • (a) General. The SEA must examine data, including data disaggregated by race and ethnicity, to determine if significant discrepancies are occurring in the rate of long-term suspensions and expulsions of children with disabilities— • (1) Among LEAs in the State; or • (2) Compared to the rates for nondisabled children within those agencies.
Regulatory Citation • (b) Review and revision of policies. If the discrepancies described in paragraph (a) of this section are occurring, the SEA must review and, if appropriate, revise (or require the affected State agency or LEA to revise) its policies, procedures, and practices relating to the development and implementation of IEPs, the use of positive behavioral interventions and supports, and procedural safeguards, to ensure that these policies, procedures, and practices comply with the Act.
Data Source • Data collected on Table 5 of Information Collection 1820-0621 (Report of Children with Disabilities Unilaterally Removed or Suspended/Expelled for More than 10 Days). Discrepancy can be computed by either comparing the rates of suspensions and expulsions for children with IEPs to rates for nondisabled children within the LEA or by comparing the rates of suspensions and expulsions for children with IEPs among LEAs within the State. • Sampling from State’s 618 data is not allowed.
4A Measurement Percent = [A divided by B] times 100 A = # of districts that have a significant discrepancy in the rate of suspensions and expulsions of greater than 10 days in a school year of children with IEPs divided by the B= # of districts in the State times 100
4B Measurement Percent = [(# of districts that have: (a) a significant discrepancy, by race or ethnicity, in the rates of suspensions and expulsions of greater than 10 days in a school year of children with IEPs; and (b) policies, procedures or practices that contribute to the significant discrepancy and do not comply with requirements relating to the development and implementation of IEPs, the use of positive behavioral interventions and supports, and procedural safeguards) divided by the (# of districts in the State)] times 100.
4A Target & Reporting Year • FFY 2009 SPP (due 2/1/11) – use FFY 2008 (2008-2009) data • establish baseline, targets, and review/revise improvement activities • FFY 2010 APR (due 2/1/12) – use FFY 2009 (2009-2010) data
4B Target & Reporting Year • Target is 0% (Compliance Indicator) • FFY 2009 SPP (due 2/1/11) – use FFY 2008 (2008-2009) data • establish baseline, targets, and review/revise improvement activities • FFY 2010 APR (due 2/1/12) – use FFY 2009 (2009-2010) data
SPP/APR Reporting • If discrepancies occurred and the district with discrepancies had policies, procedures or practices that contributed to the significant discrepancy and that do not comply with requirements relating to the development and implementation of IEPs, the use of positive behavioral interventions and supports, and procedural safeguards, describe how the State ensured that such policies, procedures, and practices were revised to comply with applicable requirements.
Relative Risk Ratio (4A) • Calculates the risk for ONE LEA • Calculates the risk for all other LEAs • Divide the ONE LEA by all other LEAs • Compares the risk for one LEA to the risks of all other LEAs within the state. • If the relative risk is greater than 2.50, then the district is identified as having “significant discrepancy” for Part B 4A and must review policies, procedures and practices (i.e., the Indicator 4 Self-Assessment Rubric)
Weighted Risk (4B) • WRR adjusts for district variability in race/ethnic groups so that districts came be compared equally by accounting for variability among ethnic-makeup of districts • Compares the risk for one race ethnicity to that of all other ethnicities within the LEA, and weighted for cross LEA comparability • Must have subgroup size of 10
4B Issue • Keep in mind that 4B is two-fold: • A numerical “trigger” defined by the WRR (with n-size applied). If the LEA has a WRR greater than 2.50, then the LEA is defined as having “significant discrepancy” for Part B 4B, and must review Policies, Procedures, & Practices (i.e., Indicator 4 Self-Assessment Rubric) • Only if they meet the trigger & their P/P/P do not comply do they get a “finding”
Indicator 4 Follow-Up • If an LEA is found to have “significant discrepancy for Indicator 4A or 4B, they must complete a comprehensive rubric identifying whether or not they followed specific regulatory requirements and provide information about where the evidence could be found. • If an LEA indicates that it has failed to correctly implement the regulatory requirements, it would be issued a finding of noncompliance and must ensure both systemic and individual correction.
FFY 2009 Indicator 4A • Rates of suspension and expulsion: Percent of districts that have a significant discrepancy in the rate of suspensions and expulsions of greater than 10 days in a school year for children with IEPs; and • SC Baseline: 5.68% (n=5) • Data Source: Table 5, FFY 2008 and Self Assessment Rubric
