State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR)

State Performance Plan

The State Performance Plan is the State's plan to the US Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) that evaluates the State's efforts to implement the requirements and purposes of Part B of the IDEA and how the State will improve the implementation of IDEA Part B. The SPP contains measurable and rigorous targets in 17 indicators that were established by the US Department of Education. These indicators fall into three monitoring priority areas identified by OSEP:

1. Provision of a Free, Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE)
2. State exercise of general supervision, including child find, effective monitoring, the use of resolution meetings, mediation, and a system of transition services
3. Disproportionate representation of racial and ethnic groups in special education and related services, to the extent the representation is the result of inappropriate identification.
