Kim CarlsonAssistant Director/619 Coordinator

Office of Early Learning & School ReadinessMay 2011

Data Accuracy for Preschool Special Education

• Review of key performance measures

• Review EMIS data points • Address common errors • Provide resources/tools to ensure

accuracy• Anticipated changes

Communication• Work with preschool special education

supervisor to review data accuracy• ESCs or DDs

– District of residence responsible for the special education record

– If ESC is the district of instruction- responsible for assessment reporting

– If DD providing program, district of residence responsible for all reporting

PRESCHOOLData Collection Form

• For documentation of events • For communication between

program and EMIS personnel

• Cross-check program data with EMIS data to ensure accuracy of what is reported to ODE

UNIT FUNDINGOctober Report

Common Errors• A child’s IEP must be in effect as of

December 1– To count towards unit funding

• Otherwise child will be counted in the columns for nondisabled peers and funding may be reduced

Common Errors• Staff with percent of time in

preschool (assignment 99412)• Connecting children to teachers• Combination teachers who do both

centerbased and itinerant are reported more than once

Unit Report• Three sections to check regularly to

correct errors– Teachers– Related Services– Summary

Name change from ECE Units to PSE Units report expected

Unit Report• Teacher section

– Teachers– Centerbased and/or itinerant– Children by age and percent of time

(50% or 100%)– Nondisabled peers– Age 6 as of 12/1– Error messages

Summary Section

Supervisor Units based on number of allocated/funded classrooms

Maximum funding is the allocation

Psych units based on number of children with an 11 code

May provide service but no unit funds to support Number of units

allocated but not funded- loss of potential revenue

2007-2008Baseline 2008-2009 2009-2010

How confident are you that our ECOSF data reported to ODE is accurate, reliable and valid?

ONLY 35%

Three year cycle for ECO• Because the baseline summary statements are

based upon a child’s progress from entry to exit • For the school year 2008-2009, 3,221 children

had six months to two years of service. • For 2009-2010, and every year hereafter, results

will include children who have had six months to three years of service.

• As entry-to-exit service can span 3 years, it takes 3 years to cycle out inaccurate data

Common Errors-Accuracy Checks

• There are 3 ratings (E, K T)• Each outcome has a rating.

– October– Yearend

•  Each outcome has “yes” or “no” recorded for progress. – NA would apply only to initial entry ratings.

• Exit date is after entry date.• Impossible combinations.

Business Rules- Accuracy Check

TRANSITION FROM C TO BIndicator 12

SSID- for tracking C to B Transition

• Children exiting Help Me Grow will have an SSID assigned

• Local quarterly reports from Help Me Grow will have the SSID

• Check data to avoid duplicates

was determined prior to third birthday270

c. # of those found eligible who have an IEP developed and implemented by their third birthdays

evaluation or initial services or to whom exceptions under 34 CFR §300.301(d) applied. 15

e. # of children who were referred to Part C less than 90 days before their third birthdays.

and who have an IEP developed and implemented by their third birthdays98.87%

Special Ed Record• Preschool Transition Conference

(PSTC)= Trigger• PSTC = Referral• Evaluation = Eligible• IEP implemented by 3rd birthday

– Reasons noted if not by 3rd birthday• Parent choice

• Parent refusal

Special Ed Record• Preschool Transition Conference

(PSTC)= Trigger• If a PR01 indicates there is no

suspected disability, the child should be reported in the aggregate and not have a special education record in EMIS

Anticipated change after FY 2012

• Preschool Transition Conference (PSTC)= Trigger

• If the conference is 6-9 months before the child’s 3rd birthday, a PR01 may be used to begin the evaluation/timeline later

• Child will have an IEP implemented by 3rd birthday

• EMIS will indicate a noncompliance• OEL&SR will investigate to verify

circumstances for 2011-2012

Common Errors• Data Entry

– Based upon monitoring, results in noncompliance in • Indicator 12- Transition from Part C• Indicator 20- Accurate Data

• PSTC only– Aggregate reporting instead

• Missing dates on special education record• Only entering records in compliance- cross

check for 3 year olds

When to report• If

– PSTC is in the spring– The child will be 3 in the summer– Events cross school years

• Report in the year the IEP was implemented and child received services

Transition FAQ• Referral date and timelines

begins with the Preschool Transition Conference (PSTC)– Part C responsibility to invite

district to conference– District required to attend– Communications with Part C

on scheduling

Transition FAQ• Mobility

– Child has transition conference in one district and moves to another

– District does not report on special education record

– OSEP expects receiving district to expedite IEP

TRANSITION TO KINDERGARTEN

Reevaluation

Midyear Reevaluation• Preschool child with a disability • Annual IEP review midyear of final

preschool year• Kindergarten the following year• District chooses to conduct

reevaluation at time of annual IEP review

Reevaluation MidyearIn cases where the annual IEP review or 3

year reevaluation is completed midyear of the child’s last year in preschool:

• District must determine if the annual IEP review occurs midyear, if it is appropriate to conduct the reevaluation required for kindergarten transition

Reevaluation Midyear• If the reevaluation for transition to

kindergarten and school-age services is deemed appropriate– Both preschool and kindergarten eligibility

must be determined. The disability categories are the same except that developmental delay is applied only to preschool children. Once a child enrolls in kindergarten, the child is considered school-age.

IEP Extension• There is no such thing• An IEP is for a maximum of one year• An annual review is required at one

year and a new IEP is developed or the child exits special education

Reevaluation Midyear• For a child that has been eligible for preschool as a child

with a developmental delay, the following apply: – Child is eligible for preschool as a child with a developmental

delay but not eligible under school-age category– The child may not be eligible under school-age category but

the child continues to have preschool developmental delay, IEP will address this for the remainder of preschool

– If child is no longer eligible as a preschooler with a disability, child should be able to continue in the program and should not be withdrawn but no longer receives special education and related services and the child becomes a nondisabled peer

– Parent may choose to withdraw

Reevaluation Midyear• The district will determine if one or two IEPs is most

appropriate– Can have an IEP developed for the remainder of preschool

and later develop another IEP for kindergarten, closer to kindergarten enrollment

– Can have one IEP developed for a year which encompasses both preschool and kindergarten

• Only one can be entered in EMIS at a time• Only a single IEP can exist in EMIS. Two IEPs cannot exist in

EMIS for the same time period, meaning both preschool and kindergarten IEPs cannot exist simultaneously in EMIS

• Kindergarten LRE codes and IEP information need updated in the October EMIS reporting period (Use FN270…..)

• If two IEPs are reported with one outcome information for preschool and kindergarten, the child will appear on the IEP No Fund report and not be reported for child count
