5 Final Determinations FFY 2006 2008-2009 SPR&I Training

6 Oregon: From “Meets Requirements” to “Needs Assistance” Why? Why? B15 - 81.72% of (2005-2006) noncompliance corrected within one year B15 - 81.72% of (2005-2006) noncompliance corrected within one year B13 - 92% B13 - 92% B4 - Two tier process “worksheet” required revision by OSEP and identification of 38 districts with a significant discrepancy showed slippage B4 - Two tier process “worksheet” required revision by OSEP and identification of 38 districts with a significant discrepancy showed slippage

7 OSEP Requirements of States States are required to make “Determinations” annually on the performance of LEAs/EIS programs [IDEA 616(d) relates to determinations; 616(e) relates to enforcement actions] States must use the same four categories as OSEP in making Determinations of the status of local programs. These categories are:  Meets Requirements  Needs Assistance  Needs Intervention  Needs Substantial Intervention

8 States must consider…  Performance on compliance indicators  Part B: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13  Whether data submitted by LEAs are valid, reliable, and timely;  Uncorrected noncompliance from other sources (file reviews, legal findings); and  Any audit findings OSEP Requirements of States [cont.]

9 Issues for States to Consider Ensuring fairness, equity, and transparency Ensuring fairness, equity, and transparency Deciding the criteria to be used Deciding the criteria to be used Involving stakeholders Involving stakeholders Deciding if Determinations will be reported publicly Deciding if Determinations will be reported publicly Determining an appeals policy Determining an appeals policy Determining how State resources will be allocated for each of the Determinations categories Determining how State resources will be allocated for each of the Determinations categories

10 General Supervision Timeline Feb 2008: ODE submitted FFY 2006 APR to OSEP including: Feb 2008: ODE submitted FFY 2006 APR to OSEP including: 2006-2007 PCR including second year noncompliance (2005-2006) that was still uncorrected 2006-2007 PCR including second year noncompliance (2005-2006) that was still uncorrected *KPI data *KPI data April 2008: ODE publicly reported district/program performance in special education report card April 2008: ODE publicly reported district/program performance in special education report card

11 General Supervision Timeline April 2008: Districts submitted 07-08 PCR data April 2008: Districts submitted 07-08 PCR data Targeted file review consisted of 11 standards of general supervision, and previous noncompliance from 2006-2007 Targeted file review consisted of 11 standards of general supervision, and previous noncompliance from 2006-2007 Districts also submitted worksheet analysis on B3 Assessment Districts also submitted worksheet analysis on B3 Assessment May – August 15th 2008: County Contacts collected evidence of correction for: May – August 15th 2008: County Contacts collected evidence of correction for: Any remaining second year noncompliance from 05-06 Any remaining second year noncompliance from 05-06 First year noncompliance from 06-07 First year noncompliance from 06-07 Newly identified noncompliance from 07-08 if districts were able to correct it or corrected it at the time of submission Newly identified noncompliance from 07-08 if districts were able to correct it or corrected it at the time of submission

12 How Oregon Calculated Final Determinations for FFY 2006 Noncompliance identified in 2006-2007 that was not corrected within one year Noncompliance identified in 2006-2007 that was not corrected within one year All districts/programs got to 100% compliance for 05-06!!! All districts/programs got to 100% compliance for 05-06!!! Compliance Indicators B9, 10, 11 & 13 Compliance Indicators B9, 10, 11 & 13 B9 & 10 – Disproportionality B9 & 10 – Disproportionality B11: Child Find B11: Child Find B13: Transition goals and services B13: Transition goals and services Timely and accurate submission of data Timely and accurate submission of data SECC SECC Special Education Exit Special Education Exit Child Find Child Find

13 Final Determinations Matrix Meets Requirements: Meets Requirements: 95% or better correction of noncompliance across PCR and compliance indicators (100% for 9 & 10) 95% or better correction of noncompliance across PCR and compliance indicators (100% for 9 & 10) If less than 95% in one, at least 90% If less than 95% in one, at least 90% Timely and Accurate: 2 out of 3, no single collection both untimely and inaccurate Timely and Accurate: 2 out of 3, no single collection both untimely and inaccurate Needs Assistance: Needs Assistance: Between 50-94% correction of noncompliance across PCR and compliance indicators (100% for 9 & 10) Between 50-94% correction of noncompliance across PCR and compliance indicators (100% for 9 & 10) Timely and Accurate: 1 out of 3, no single collection both untimely and inaccurate Timely and Accurate: 1 out of 3, no single collection both untimely and inaccurate Needs Intervention: Needs Intervention: Less than 50% correction of noncompliance for PCR or any compliance indicator (noncompliance with 9 or 10) Less than 50% correction of noncompliance for PCR or any compliance indicator (noncompliance with 9 or 10) All 3 collections untimely or inaccurate, or any single collection both untimely and inaccurate All 3 collections untimely or inaccurate, or any single collection both untimely and inaccurate

14 Looking at Correction of Noncompliance for B11 ODE started with Child find data districts submitted for 06-07 ODE started with Child find data districts submitted for 06-07 If less than 95%, looked at 07-08 submission for improvement or slippage If less than 95%, looked at 07-08 submission for improvement or slippage Used % change from 06-07 to 07-08 to determine the number of evaluations in compliance (from June 08 going back) out of number of evaluations completed (07- 08) Used % change from 06-07 to 07-08 to determine the number of evaluations in compliance (from June 08 going back) out of number of evaluations completed (07- 08) If district met the number of evals needed, evidence of correction was provided and 100% stated on determination summary If district met the number of evals needed, evidence of correction was provided and 100% stated on determination summary If district did not meet the number of evaluations needed, original 06-07 compliance % was used for final determinations If district did not meet the number of evaluations needed, original 06-07 compliance % was used for final determinations

15 Looking at Correction of Noncompliance for B13 ODE started with PCR review of transition standards from 06-07 ODE started with PCR review of transition standards from 06-07 These 3 standards require individual files to be corrected These 3 standards require individual files to be corrected Districts that sent in evidence that individual files are corrected by August 15 th received credit for correction to 100% for this indicator Districts that sent in evidence that individual files are corrected by August 15 th received credit for correction to 100% for this indicator New PCR review process (student by student) will allow for more transition standards to be monitored, and assist with tracking individual file corrections New PCR review process (student by student) will allow for more transition standards to be monitored, and assist with tracking individual file corrections

21 Needs Substantial Intervention  ODE reserves the right to identify a district as Needs Substantial Intervention if its substantial failure to comply significantly affected the core requirements of the program, such as the delivery of services to children with disabilities or the district’s exercise of general supervision, or if the district informed the ODE it was unwilling to comply.

22 Maintenance of Effort (MOE) If an SEA determines that an LEA is not meeting the requirements of Part B of the Act, including the targets in the SPP, the SEA must prohibit the LEA from reducing the LEA’s maintenance of effort under 34 CFR §300.203 for any fiscal year

23 How do we “measure” the one year timeline for correction? When the ODE notifies the district in writing of the noncompliance When the ODE notifies the district in writing of the noncompliance When the ODE notifies the district and documents in writing that the noncompliance is corrected When the ODE notifies the district and documents in writing that the noncompliance is corrected This occurs in August with Final Determinations information This occurs in August with Final Determinations information

24 Timing of enforcements actions Are enforcement actions sequential? Are enforcement actions sequential? No, the enforcement actions are not sequential No, the enforcement actions are not sequential Must ODE wait two (needs assistance) or three (needs intervention) years before taking enforcement action? Must ODE wait two (needs assistance) or three (needs intervention) years before taking enforcement action? Under section 616(g) of the Act, the ODE may at any time utilize any authority under the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) to monitor and enforce the requirements of IDEA, regardless of the determinations made of the district’s/program’s status under section 616(d) of the Act. Under section 616(g) of the Act, the ODE may at any time utilize any authority under the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) to monitor and enforce the requirements of IDEA, regardless of the determinations made of the district’s/program’s status under section 616(d) of the Act.

27 What are ODE’s expectations for districts? Develop and sustain a system that allows you to: Develop and sustain a system that allows you to: Identify noncompliance Identify noncompliance Correct noncompliance at individual and systemic levels Correct noncompliance at individual and systemic levels Improve the process and system to ensure desired outcomes Improve the process and system to ensure desired outcomes

28 ODE On-going Oversight Will continue to focus on performance and compliance Will continue to focus on performance and compliance Will primarily identify districts for focused monitoring by looking at continued noncompliance and performance against the targets Will primarily identify districts for focused monitoring by looking at continued noncompliance and performance against the targets Other data sources such as legal issues and audits may also be used Other data sources such as legal issues and audits may also be used

29 Take Aways Identification of noncompliance through SPR&I is not what determines your status Identification of noncompliance through SPR&I is not what determines your status Lack of documented and verified evidence of correction of noncompliance and sustained compliance over time will drive focused monitoring efforts Lack of documented and verified evidence of correction of noncompliance and sustained compliance over time will drive focused monitoring efforts Future determinations will likely include a comprehensive review of compliance and performance indicators as well as timely and accurate submission of data Future determinations will likely include a comprehensive review of compliance and performance indicators as well as timely and accurate submission of data
