The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires states to develop a State Performance Plan and Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR). This evaluates the State’s efforts to implement the requirements of IDEA and describe how the state will improve its special education programs. The SPP/APR include indicators that measure child and family outcomes, as well as other indicators that measure compliance with IDEA requirements.
The Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) is currently developing the 2020 – 2025 SPP/APR. As a part of this process, KSDE requested stakeholder input on proposed targets for the SPP/APR indicators. This was an opportunity for KSDE to hear from educators, families, and community members on the direction our state takes to improve outcomes for students with disabilities.
Please review the PowerPoints that explain any indicator changes and KSDE’s decisions on targets for relevant indicators, following stakeholder input, for the next SPP/APR cycle. Please review the SPP/APR data visualizations at the Tableau website.
