IDEA requires states to submit a number of reports for both state and federal accountability purposes. These reports include data reports as well as performance reports. Federal reporting requirements are as follows:

State Performance Plan and Annual Performance Report

Public Law 108-446 (IDEA 2004) requires that no later than one year after the date of enactment (i.e., December 3, 2005), each State Education Agency and Lead Agency for Part C must develop and submit to OSEP a six year State Performance Plan (SPP). The SPP is designed to evaluate the State's efforts to implement the requirements and purposes of Part B and Part C respectively and describe how the state will improve its implementation. Each state is required to report annually to the public and to OSEP on each local education agency's and Part C program's performance on the targets in the SPP through an Annual Performance Report (APR).

The conference report to HR 1350 indicates that Congress expected that the SPP, including its indicators and targets, would be developed by states with broad stakeholder input and public dissemination. As a result, States needed to carefully plan on how they would complete these activities. The SPP required that states collect and analyze baseline data to respond to specific priorities and indicators, establish measurable and rigorous targets, and identify improvement activities to ensure improved performance for each indicator during the six-year time frame (FFY 2005 through FFY 2010).

In accordance with 20 U.S.C. 1416(b)(2)(C)(ii)(II) and 1442, each state is required to submit a State Annual Performance Report (APR). This report includes data on the progress and/or slippage in meeting the 'measurable and rigorous targets' in the SPP and may serve as the state's annual report to the public/Secretary. The next APR is due in February 1, 2007. Each state is required to post its SPP/APR on its' state website. If a state modifies its targets or other baseline information, the changes must be reported to OSEP.

SPP/APR Resources

Current APR/SPP General Guidance/Instructions including tables, templates and attachments are available as follows.

The National Accountability Conference website provides information on the SPP/APR. The Federal Resource Center also makes available information and materials related to the SPP/APR to assist states in completing their SPPs/APRs. The information includes:

Section 618 Data Reports

Section 618 of IDEA requires states to annually collect and report data related to children served, settings of services, personnel, exiting, and other areas specific to Part C and Part B. Data is reported in the form of tables, which are included in the Annual Reports to Congress. To assist states in collecting and reporting required data under Section 618 of IDEA, OSEP has developed documentation requirements and forms. A number of technical assistance questions and answers documents have been developed to assist states in reporting data. Annual data tables are also available at ideadata.org before they are published in the Annual Reports.

Section 619 Data Tables include:

  • Child Count — counts of children ages 3 through 5 receiving special education and related services on December 1; provided by disability by individual age and by disability by race/ethnicity.
