SPP -- State Performance Plan

State Performance Plan

What is the State Performance Plan (SPP)?

• A six-year (2005-2011) State plan that...
  
• establishes annual benchmarks and six-year targets for...
• twenty required indicators
• Covers the period - July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2011

SPP Process

Process Requires:

-Broad stakeholder input
- Public dissemination
- Annual public report on progress -statewide and for each local education agency

State Performance Plan

History of the SPP...

• Original SPP submitted on time to the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) in December 2005
• Minor revisions were required by the USDE SPP approved by OSEP in April 2006
• OSEP included two tables of items needing attention in 2005-06 SPP

Present Status

2005-06 SPP (due February 1, 2007) submitted for SBE review at January meeting Includes new baselines and targets for several Indicators Includes OSEP required format changes Includes OSEP require content changes

Each indicator includes the same, required information:

Overview of the Issue/Description of Service or Process

Baseline Data for FFY 2004-05 (2004-05)

Discussion of Baseline Data

Measurable and Rigorous Benchmarks and Targets

Improvement Activities

Monitoring Priorities, Indicators and Measurement requirements are specified in the OSEP indicator documents. In most cases, the measures are very specific and allow little latitude.

How the Content Was Determined

Contents of 2004-05 SPP -- Submitted December 2005

If the SPP was approved why did it change?

• To add baseline and target data as previously scheduled by OSEP
  - Indicator 4B, 7, 8, 9,10,11,14,18
• To modify the SPP due to changed instructions required by OSEP
  - e.g., Statewide assessment table content and format
• To aligning SPP data requirements to that of annual Section 618 data collection as required by OSEP
  - e.g., LRE and Preschool LRE
• To modifying the SPP based on OSEP comments that accompanied its approval letter
  - Preschool Assessment and Parent Involvement to include sample information
• Because it is a dynamic document that can be modified with the approval of OSEP

Additions/Revisions to the original SPP in 2005-06

What's Next for the SPP

• Submit a modified/revised SPP in February 2007
• Prepare state and district-level public reports (Indicators 1-14)
• Submit Annual Performance Report (APR) in February 2007

Annual Performance Report

What is the Annual Performance Report (APR)?

An annual State report that...
- serves as a progress report on the SPP to demonstrate if:
- annual benchmarks have been met
- improvement activities were completed
- for the twenty required indicators

Like the SPP, the APR has required contents for each indicator:

-Monitoring Priority
-Indicator
-Measurement
-Target
-Actual Target Data
-Discussion of Improvement Activities Completed
-Explanation of Progress or Slippage
-Revisions with Justification

For the most part, actual data is analyzed:

-statewide,
-geographically (north, central, south),
-by ethnicity and
-by disability.

Generally, a chart summarizing the status of improvement activities is included with each indicator

Implications for CDE/SED

• Posted on the web

• Compliance indicators will be used by OSEP to make Compliance Determinations per IDEA ‘04

Implications for LEAs

• Values posted on the web
• Used to select districts for monitoring
• Used to identify areas to be addressed in monitoring reviews and improvement planning
  - Disproportionality
  - Suspension and Expulsion
• Will be used to identify districts who are significantly disproportionate
• Used to establish Compliance Determinations per IDEA 04

Annual Performance Report

• The APR is due to the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) no later than February 1, 2007
• Reporting period covers July 1, 2005 -- June 30, 2006
