Our Past Performance • There are ~146 districts in Idaho. • There are ~ 282,000 students in Idaho (showing steady increase over last five years). • We educate ~ 26,800 students with disabilities (showing a steady decrease over the last five years). • That is about 9.5% of the student (ages 6 -12) population(compare to 10.1% in 2009-2010)
Exceptionalities Increases Decreases Deaf/Blind –40.0% TBI –12.0% SLD – 9.7% OI –6.7% Language –5.3% VI –5.0% DD –2.6% Speech –2.0% HI –0.8% • Deaf +13.0% • OHI +10.7% • CI +5.2% • Autism +3.6% • Multiple Disabilities +2.4% • ED +0.1%
Indicator 1: Graduation RateIndicator 2: Dropout Rate • 89.2% SWD graduated in 2010 up from 88.8% in 2009 • 1.2% Dropout Rate in 2010 was an improvement over the 1.4% in 2009
Indicator 3: AYP and ISAT • Participation • 98.2% participated in the math assessment (drop from 99.0% in 2009) • 98.3% participated in the reading assessment (drop from 100% in 2009) • Performance • Math …. 40.37% proficient or better (drop from 41.66%) • Reading …. 50.68% proficient or better (improvement from 49.49%)

Indicator 4: Suspensions and Expulsions 2009 - 2010 2010 - 2011 • 140 students suspended/expelled in 2009-2010 • 96 suspended/expelled more than 10 days • NO districts identified as having a significant discrepancy in the rate of suspensions and expulsions of children with disabilities based on race/ethnicity • 95 students suspended/expelled in 2010-2011 • 45 students suspended/expelled more than 10 days • NO districts identified as having a significant discrepancy in the rate of suspensions and expulsions of children with disabilities based on race/ethnicity
Discussion • The data for suspension & expulsion are due June 30th of each year by each school in the district including alternative schools, charters, and non-traditional (evening). • We (SDE) had some data retrieval problems this year – change in data collection platform (ISEE) • Race/Ethnicity coding • Determination findings • Change in calculation formula
Parent Involvement Considerations • How do we increase parent response within the budget we currently have? • How does the SDE and Districts increase “gold standard” with parents?
Indicator 9: Disproportionality in Special Education • 146 districts reviewed (up 9 from 2009) • 23 findings of over-/under- representation • Addition of “two or more” category appears to be problematic
Indicator 9: Disproportionality in Special Education • Almost direct correlation between under- reporting of Hispanic to over- reporting of “two or more” • It IS a data coding problem. No district is non-compliant.
Indicator 10: Disproportionality by Disability • The SDE examined data for every disability in every district (146) for all races and ethnicities, including both over- and under-representation. • Twenty-one (21) districts were found to have over- or under-representation as described in the definition.
Indicator 10: Disproportionality by Disability • Almost direct correlation between under- reporting of Hispanic to over- reporting of “two or more” across all disability categories. • A data coding problem.
Discussion • Correlation between Attendance Report (October) and Child Count – very much off for 2010. Appears to be better for 2011. • Importance of reporting consistent race/ethnicity across the various data collections. • Data verification will be made with EUDID codes.
Indicator 11: Initial Eligibility 60-day Timeline 18% decrease from 2009
Discussion • Rebuilding the data collection platform • Due date ____________
Indicator 12: Early Childhood Transition • 98.35% of children referred by Part C were found eligible for Part B and had IEPs developed/implemented by their 3rd birthday • 9 student eligibilities were late (down from 15 in 2009) but corrected before initial analysis of the data.
Indicator 13: Secondary Transition Note: the percent of compliance reported in the 2010 APR was incorrect and should have been reported as 36% as the baseline for Indictor 13 not 63%.
Correction of Noncompliance • Discussion – March 9, 2012 OSEP Letter
Indicator 18: Resolution Sessions • 100% (2 of 2) of hearing requests that went to resolution sessions were resolved through resolution sessions or settlement agreements.
Indicator 19: Mediation • 88% (16 of 18) of mediations held resulted in mediation agreements (revision)
Indicator 20: Timely and Accurate Reporting The SDE experienced technical problems with a number of data collection and processing programs. In an audit of data for indicator 4, it was discovered that coding errors resulted in the reporting of erroneous data in the 618 Table 5 submission. These errors were corrected and 618 Table 5 was revised and resubmitted.
Overall • No major slippage in any indicator! • Changes in Monitoring & Compliance Verifications (‘subsequent’ correction v. ‘timely’ correction) • Adding “Prong II” in the process
