The presentation reviewed a new TA tool that summarizes the basics of reporting IDEA discipline data in the six EDFacts file formats. Presenters described and demonstrated the new IDC infographic, discussed how SEAs and LEAs can use it to improve the quality of their discipline data, and requested audience input.

The presentation focused on current national data on inclusive settings for children, ages three to five. Presenters drilled down to state examples of how state share data with local programs and how locals use that data for program improvement. Presenters discussed potential improvement strategies based on data available to state and local programs. Presentation objectives were to: provide an overview of inclusion and Educational Environments 618 and Indicator 6 data, share state and local reporting, and discuss use of data to improve inclusion.

This flyer is meant to help states better understand the three TA centers that are responsible for responding to issues regarding IDEA fiscal reporting and data collection: IDC, CIFR, and NCSI .The flyer contains, a chart with each center’s objectives and activities that are related to IDEA fiscal data.

Developed by CIFR, in collaboration with IDC, this three-page quick reference guide assists states,  LEAs, and stakeholders to better understand the basic local MOE requirements stipulated in IDEA. The guide describes the consequences of failing to meet MOE, standards for calculations, allowable exceptions, and reporting obligations. It concludes with questions and additional resources for states to consider.

This data template provides SEAs and LEAs the opportunity to see in real-time the percentages of their children ages 3-5 attending and receiving services in specific educational environments. When the LEA 618 educational environments data is simply entered on the data tab, the percentages will be calculated and displayed on the percentage tab. The use of this tool will allow SEAs to compare the percentages of children within educational environments across LEAs.
