This page provides information regarding the public reporting of special education data, the State Performance Plan (SPP) and information regarding Kentucky's IDEA State Application.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires states to submit a State Performance Plan (SPP) and to annually report data on the status toward meeting the targets on the indicators contained in this plan. This report of status is called the Annual Performance Report (APR) and is submitted on or around February first of each year. To determine Kentucky's status toward achieving these goals the Office of Special Education and Early Learning (OSEEL) collects data from local school districts, parents, and other sources. These data are reviewed, interpreted, and reported in the APR. The APR contains information about how the state performed for each of the indicators and explanations for meeting or not meeting targets as well as continued activities for maintaining or improving performance.
SPP/APR Stakeholder Engagement Opportunity
Every state is required to submit a new SPP to the OSEP at least every six years. Next year’s FFY 2020 SPP/APR submission (due February 2022) begins a new six-year SPP cycle for federal fiscal years (FFY) 2020-2025. For the FFY 2020-2025 SPP/APR, the Office of Special Education and Early Learning (OSEEL) is soliciting broad stakeholder input on setting the new state targets. This is an opportunity for the OSEEL to receive input and feedback from parents, school administrators, educators, advocacy organizations, community members and other stakeholders on improving educational outcomes for students with disabilities.
In the coming weeks, this webpage will be updated with a series of forms that cover each of the 17 indicators in greater detail, including historical data trends and proposed data targets for the FFY 2020-2025 SPP/APR. We encourage you to review and provide feedback through the form links below.
