This updated IDEA Part B data collection consolidates essential information, including contacts, EDFacts due dates, 618 data timelines, quick links, acronyms, and SPP/APR indicator sources, useful for both new and experienced IDEA data managers.
This calendar lists monthly tasks for 618 data collection, helping states submit timely, accurate, and complete data. It addresses upcoming and previous submissions, aiding states in effectively planning their 618 data reports.
This handy chart outlines the differences between CCEIS and voluntary CEIS
Developed jointly by IDC and CIFR, this practice guide provides examples of voluntary and comprehensive CEIS, including scenarios for providing professional development and providing CEIS over multiple years.
OSEP added four new data elements related to the LEA MOE provisions of IDEA in the MOE Reduction and CEIS data collection. This resource, produced by IDC and CIFR, discusses each of the four new data elements and provides additional support and assistance as states prepare to collect and submit these data.
DC and CIFR have published the revised Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS) Fiscal and Student Data Tracker. The resource is a set of four tools SEAs can use along with their districts, schools, and providers to assist them in tracking the finances, services, and student data associated with CEIS.
States use this Excel tool to prepare Section 618 data, entering metadata responses for the current period. The tool then identifies relevant data quality considerations based on EDFacts Business Rules Single Inventory (BRSI).
This suite of tools helps SEAs and LEAs/ESAs as they navigate the process of MOE reduction. Each individual resource is designed to support a specific step in determining eligibility and calculating allowable reductions.
This technical assistance document focuses on helping SEAs and LEAs better understand voluntary CEIS and its reporting requirements. It also provides examples of various data collection and reporting methods states use to collect and report voluntary CEIS data.
CIFR’s quick reference guides are intended to assist states and other stakeholders in better understanding the basics of fiscal reporting requirements set forth in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The guides may be developed in collaboration with other national technical assistance centers.
