MIS Conference Special Education School Year

June 30, 2013 – Summer Program Data Screen initial data should be entered July 1, 2013 – Begins New School Year in MSIS July 30, 2013 – Summer Program Data Screen Final Updates should be entered July to August, 2013 – Roll Personnel Data (all schools), this will automatically make the Special Education Data roll the next night August 2013 – Indicator 13 SY Data review and desk audit September 2013 – Indicators 11 and 12 SY Opportunity for Clarification letters go out September 20, 2013 – Post–Secondary data due for SY September 30, 2013 – First day to submit Month 01 files – need to have all SPED indicators set, student schedules entered, and personnel entered November 26, 2013 – Child Count due Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 2

Run and review the Part C to B No Match Report and notify MDE – Special Education Office about the listed students for Indicator 12 Update Child Find screen with any referrals for evaluations, including Part C to B referrals and referrals to MET through the TST process (Intervention screen) Set CEIS Indicator monthly for any students receiving services Monitor discipline data for accuracy Record entry and exit screeners in BDI-2 Data Manager for 3-5 year olds with IEPs Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 4

Oversight requires continuous monitoring of data Audits can happen at any time Monthly district approval in MSIS is an assurance of data accuracy Data should be kept as up-to-date as possible Not just a December 1 concern Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 5

Who? –Students in the 4-year cohort who graduated with a regular diploma Where does the data come from? –MSIS (Graduation codes) –Data lags a year What do I need to do? –Verify graduate information in MSIS When is it collected? –End of school year Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 6

Who? –Students that dropped out Where does the data come from? –MSIS (coded as dropouts) –Data lags a year What do I need to do? –Verify dropout data in MSIS When is it collected? –End of school year Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 7

Who? –Students who should participate in Statewide assessments Where does the data come from? –Statewide assessment results What do I need to do? –Meet assessment collection requirements When is it collected? –At each assessment Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 8

Who? –Students who have been suspended/expelled for more than 10 days Where does the data come from? –MSIS (discipline/incident data) –Data lags a year What do I need to do? –Verify MSIS data (duration, start/end dates, codes) –Follow appropriate policies and procedures When is it collected? –Every month Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 9

Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 10 Incidents (Infractions)Dispositions What a Student DoesWhat a Student Gets When deciding what to report, ask yourself “Do I have a reportable Incident OR a reportable Disposition?” not “Do I have a reportable Incident AND a reportable Disposition?” Some are Reportable… Alternative School Codes Persistently Dangerous Schools (72 hours) Other Laws (21 codes that must be reported) Alternative School Corporal Punishment Expulsion Suspension In School Suspension Expulsion with Services (6 codes that must be reported) Some are Not Reportable… Gum Chewing Dress Code Violations All these local codes = NCB Parent Conference Breaking Detention All these local codes = ADMIN Reported to MDE X X OR Not Reported to MDE

An incident is an infraction committed by a student. A disposition is the result of an incident and is prescribed by the district. The Office of Special Education reviews the incidents/dispositions reported to MSIS to retrieve the data needed for EDFacts files and Indicator 4 of the SPP/APR. It is very important that this data is reported accurately and in a timely manner. The discipline data is reported to MSIS in either a DSD file or an MSD file. NOTE: Very important to put the beginning and ending dates, and the durations on suspensions and expulsions. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 11

Who? –Students age 6-21 Where does the data come from? –MSIS What do I need to do? –Verify MSIS data (teacher and student schedules, LRE calculated placement) When is it collected? –Child Count Day Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 12

LRE Live Procedure will run each month after your district approval MSIS will use the LRE Formula: Total Regular Education Minutes + Recess (Break) + Lunch / Instructional Time + Recess (Break) + Lunch Regular Ed Minutes will be pulled from the student’s and teacher’s schedule in MSIS. Recess/Break, Lunch, and Instructional Time are taken from the School Demographics screen (Grades Tab). For A/B Schedules, MSIS will double the denominator and lunch and recess in the numerator to allow MSIS to look at the total 2-day schedule. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 13

The LRE should reflect what the IEP Team decides. The LRE procedure only looks at one semester at a time. August to the end of December it looks at courses in the 1st semester. From January to June it looks at courses in 2nd semester. Month 03 is the last chance for correctly calculating LRE but the Ed Environment has to be entered by Child Count Day. Regular education classes with more than 50% of Special Education students do not count towards the student's LRE. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 14

1. Do you see EVERY period on the student's schedule? If you only see periods 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 and no period 4 -- then your LRE is going to calculate low. 2. Do you see 50% or LESS in the SPED LRE REG PCT column? Any number above 50 means you have too many Special Education students for this class to count towards the student's LRE calculation. You will need to either move regular education students into the class or move Special Education students out. 3. Have you included the course SPED Early Work Release, , for every High School student that leaves early? This is the ONLY regular education course that the LRE procedure will ignore the makeup of the class. (NOTE: Be sure that you do not add this regular education course code to any Special Education teacher that you want to receive 100% Special Education MAEP Funding - it will prorate your Special Education teacher's MAEP.) Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 15

4. If you have a period that spans two periods, have you doubled the minutes on your teacher's schedule? Example: Period 01 LA covers period 01 (55 min) and period 02 (55 min). The teacher has 110 min for period Have you (or someone in your district) checked the Instructional Minutes, Break/Recess, and Lunch minutes on the School Demographic screen under the Grades tab? Instructional minutes should ONLY reflect the instructional part of your school day not the whole school day. Example: 7 periods at 50 minutes each would equal 350 instructional minutes. 6. If the IEP placement and the LRE calculated placement is NOT the same, then you need to review the student’s schedule to see if something was entered wrong in your student package so that you can correct this on the student’s schedule in the school package for the Month 02 or Month 03 submission. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 16

Who? –Students age 3-5 Where does the data come from? –MSIS What do I need to do? –Verify MSIS data (User-entered placement) When is it collected? –Child Count Day Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 17

Indicator 5 - LRE Indicator 5a = SA Placements Indicator 5b = SC Placements Indicator 5c = SD, SF, and SH Placements SB Placements are not part of APR calculation, but are included in CEIS calculations Indicator 6 - Preschool LRE Indicator 6a = PI and PK Placements Indicator 6b = PE, PF, and PG Placements Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 18

Who? –Students age 3-5 as of Child Count Day Where does the data come from? –BDI-2 Data Manager Website What do I need to do? –Administer screener to 3-5 year olds who enter and exit early childhood program When is it collected? –Year-round (data must be entered by June 30 th ) Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 19

Personnel must be entered in MSIS by September 30th of each school year. Updates can be made until December 10 th. During monthly processing of files, MSIS checks the student’s schedule against the teacher’s schedule. The Monthly file will fail if there is not a matching course code, period, and semester/term in the teacher’s schedule. Endorsement Check for MAEP Funding - goes against the Disability Codes table not the Course Code table. You can find the required endorsements for each disability under MSIS->Maintenance->Special Education Codes-> Disabilities - click on the green light at the top of the screen to run a report that lists each endorsement allowed for each disability. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 49

All teachers must be certified by October 1st. If the teacher is certified in any other certification and receives a Special Education endorsement by the December snapshot, MSIS will fund teacher at 100%. If the teacher holds no certification on October 1st but receives a certification (with a Special Education endorsement) by the December snapshot, MSIS will prorate the teacher’s salary based on when the certificate was issued. 0 Student Count - MSIS will not fund teaching positions with no student counts. Use the Students Matching Report and the Students Not Matching Report to determine which students are associated with a teacher. In MSIS, to run these reports go to Reports -> Personnel Data -> Teacher Schedule -> Students Matching or Students Not Matching. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 50

Once again, the determination has been made that for FY 2014 the MAEP allocation will be lump sum. The lump sum allocation will provide greater flexibility for school districts in dealing with reduced funding levels. The lump sum allocation means that your MAEP allocation amount will not change during FY 2014 due to revisions of MAEP add-on programs (special education, vocational education, gifted, alternative school, or transportation). The allocation could change due to any budget reductions that may occur during the fiscal year. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 51

This is the method of allocating MAEP funds that was used in FY 2005, FY 2011, FY 2012, and FY Even though add-on funding amounts will not be detailed, school districts will still be required to meet maintenance of effort (MOE) for special education. Keep in mind that clean personnel edits help with your Accreditation edits. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 52

In order to ensure that school districts comply with these requirements the following steps will be taken: –The Office of Special Education (OSE) will allocate teacher units (TU) to school districts in the normal manner utilizing the TU procedure run in MSIS. –OSE will review the personnel data as in years past to ensure that the properly endorsed teachers are serving eligible students with disabilities. –OSE will work with districts to ensure they meet their required MOE ( ). Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 53

–School districts will be expected to employ special education teachers based on the number of units allocated. –Special Education TUs will be posted on the Special Education website. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 54

–Districts will be required to follow the normal process of entering special education teacher personnel information in the Mississippi Student Information System (MSIS). –OSE will reconcile personnel information to units allocated for each district beginning with MSIS Month 01 data. Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 55

Districts that do not employ the minimum number of special education teachers based on units allocated will be required to ensure: that all eligible students are receiving FAPE that the district has met MOE Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 56

Please remember that even though the teacher unit reconciliation process will take place: there will be no revision of funds allocated during February as in past years there will be no additional units granted (prayer list) Federal Table 2 data will be pulled from the personnel snapshot no additional funds will be allocated for December graduates or for any errors in reporting Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 57

MAEP uses the endorsement codes on the Disability Codes - NOT the endorsement codes on the Course Codes table –MSIS determines the majority of the primary disabilities per class using the Student Update screen to decide which endorsements should be checked –If there are an equal number of two or more primary disabilities, MSIS will check all the endorsements (Ex: 1 MD Student and 1 SLD Student, MSIS checks that the teacher is endorsed in both MD and SLD) Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 58

Special Program Field: –Enter per period on teacher’s schedule –Use Code 5 to indicate use of Special Education Funds – ONLY those teachers with a 5 in this field will pull into the MAEP edits Reserved Field: –Use XX for any period that should not be part of the MAEP edit checks ( Homeroom or National Certified - Teacher/Counselor/Librarian or Mentor Teacher or CCC (AHSA) - Speech Therapist/Audiologist) –Use AS to indicate After School – any teacher with more than 100% Instructional time MUST have a least one period with an AS Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 59

MSIS will fail any teachers with: –0 Student Count – if you teacher has a period with a 0 student count, that means that NO student has that period in their schedule in MSIS –Students who do not have a Primary Disability – use the Student Matching report, look up each student on the Student Update screen to be sure each student has been assigned a primary disability Summer 2013 Office of Instructional Enhancement and Internal Operations/Office of Special Education 60
