Public Law
108-446, the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA) 2004, requires the State
Education Department (SED) to develop and submit
a six year State Performance Plan (SPP) to the
Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at
the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE). The
State Performance Plan Overview is designed to evaluate the State's efforts
to implement the requirements and purposes of
IDEA and describe how the State will improve
results. OSEP has identified three monitoring
priorities and 20 indicators relating to the
priority areas that must be reported in the
State Performance Plan Overview. For
each of the indicators, the State must establish
measurable and rigorous targets and improvement
activities for a six-year period of time.
The priority areas
and indicators addressed in the State
Performance Plan Overview for
2005-2010 and related information is available
