This page provides information regarding the public reporting of special education data, the State Performance Plan (SPP). The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires states to submit an 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.
Kentucky's IDEA Part B 618 Data may be found on the IDEA Section 618 Data Products: State Level Data Files website.
SPP/APR Stakeholder Engagement Opportunity
Every state is required to submit a new SPP to the federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at least every six years. The federal fiscal year (FFY) 2020 SPP/APR submission (submitted February 2022) began a new six-year SPP cycle for FFY 2020-2025. The OSEEL solicited broad stakeholder input on setting the new state targets for the SPP. The OSEEL received input and feedback from parents, school administrators, educators, advocacy organizations, community members and other stakeholders on improving educational outcomes for students with disabilities. The document below reports the results of the target setting.
