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.

The EDFacts IDEA Discipline Data Infographic provides basic information about the EDFacts file specifications states use to submit IDEA Discipline data to the U.S. Department of Education. The infographic outlines details about Discipline data for children and youth with disabilities ages 3 through 21 that states must include in their annual submission of EDFacts files FS005, FS006, FS007, FS088, FS143, and FS144. 

IDC designed these two technical assistance products to be used by state personnel responsible for IDEA 618 and/or 616 data. The products include a step-by-step guide on completing an outlier analysis, with a brief introduction on the principles of outlier analyses, and a tool state staff can use to conduct outlier analyses with their local data. IDEA Part B state staff working with LEAs also can use both products to analyze their local data.

Does your state have well-documented data processes in place to ensure that IDEA data are timely, accurate, valid, and reliable? If not, contact your IDC State Liaison for help! Using the SEA Data Processes Toolkit, our TA providers can work with state special education staff and others in your state to document your current 616 and 618 data processes. IDC can also assist with improving those processes to ensure consistent practices to collect, analyze and submit high quality data year after year!

The purpose of this tool is to lead those within a state responsible for implementing their SSIP evaluation through the process of operationalizing their SSIP evaluation plan in tandem with implementation efforts. State staff can use this interactive self-assessment to gauge their team’s progress on key components necessary for fully executing their SSIP evaluation plan and to identify action steps needed to realize the greatest benefit from their evaluation efforts.
