Significant Disproportionality Statute requires States to annually collect and examine data to determine whether significant disproportionality based on race or ethnicity is occurring with respect to: Identification of children as children with disabilities, including identification as children with particular impairments. Placement of children in particular educational settings; and Incidence, duration, and type of disciplinary actions, including suspensions and expulsions. MDE, Office of Special Education

Significant Disproportionality Current data indicates 17 of 56 ISDs will receive Tier I and Tier II support NO ISDs are projected to be identified based on current data These 17 ISDs will be contacted this summer to clarify the process of identification and discuss opportunities to begin to address the issues within effected member districts OSE will be offering a work session at the MAASE Summer Institute for these 17 ISDs to review their member district data The new process will be used Spring 2019 MDE, Office of Special Education

Tier I: Universal Tiered-Level of Response Best Practices Examples at ISD aggregated-level: Expected Outcome Tier I: Universal State has defined “reasonable progress” to mean a year-to-year decline in risk ratio of 0.5 in each of the two consecutive years with data or the ISD is above threshold but within the ISD there are no locals that are exceeding the threshold, then the ISD is not identified with Significant Disproportionality. State will issue a data alert and offer technical support resources. MDE, Office of Special Education

Tier II: Targeted Tiered-Level of Response Best Practices Examples at ISD aggregated-level: Expected Outcome Tier II: Targeted ISDs with risk ratios between 3.0 and 3.5 for two consecutive years and/or less than 1/3 of their LEAs have risk ratios between 3.0 and 3.5 are considered moderately at risk for being identified with significant disproportionality. ISD 1 is considered moderately at risk for being identified with significant disproportionality and is required to develop and implement an improvement plan to address areas of needed improvement within their LEAs. OSE will direct voluntary CEIS. The ISD will work in collaboration with the State. Tier II: Targeted (continued) ISDs with risk ratios greater than 3.0. Less than 1/3 of the LEAs within the ISD have risk ratios greater than or equal to 3.0. ISD 1 has 9 LEAs within its jurisdiction. Two LEAs have risk ratios greater than 3.0. Less than 1/3 of the LEAs within the ISD have risk ratios greater than 3.0, therefore the ISD is considered moderately at risk for being identified with significant disproportionality. MDE, Office of Special Education

Tier III: Intensive Tiered-Level of Response Best Practices Examples at ISD aggregated-level: Expected Outcome Tier III: Intensive Tier III is for all ISDs that do not meet the criteria for Tier I and Tier II. Any ISD with risk ratios greater than 3.0 and not meeting “reasonable progress” as outlined in Tier I and not within the risk ratios outlined in Tier II are classified as having Significant Disproportionality. ISD has Significant Disproportionality. State will provide Technical Assistance (TA) to assist ISDs. ISD must allocate 15% of funds to CEIS as mandated for significant disproportionality. MDE, Office of Special Education
