4. Compliance Indicators require 95 to100% compliance at state level in order to get a compliance determination of “Meets Requirements” from OSEP. • The state is required to review data for each district and, if warranted, make a finding of noncompliance. District findings and corrective actions must be tracked and reported annually in the APR.

5. Performance Indicators are tracked in relation to state-established targets and benchmarks. • These targets and benchmarks were originally established in conjunction with a broad-based stakeholder group. • The targets and benchmarks have been approved by the State Board of Education in successive versions of the State Performance Plan. • The state reports progress or slippage in relation to the annual benchmarks each year in the APR.

6. The IDEA requires that CDE report publicly overall and that we publicly report on the first 14 indicators at the district level. • Six are compliance indicators and eight are performance indicators. • The compliance indicators must be used as a part of the LEAs compliance determination
