Michigan Department of Education, Office of Special Education Michigan s State Performance Plan Annual Public Reporting All data reported are from Michigan s Annual Performance Report, submitted 2/1/2012. These data typically reflect the 2010-2011 school year (July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011) except where noted. Indicator 1: Graduation (Results Indicator) The Indicator 1 data are from 2009-2010 because the US Department of Education prescribed a one-year data lag for this indicator. All states are required to collect and report data on: the percent of youth with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) graduating from high school with a regular diploma. The state target: 80.0% The state performance on the target: 57.4%. The state target was. Source: Michigan Student Data System, Graduation/Dropout Review and Comment Application, and Student Record Maintenance The state and district performance are calculated to align with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) using the number of youth with IEPs who entered ninth grade in one school year and received a regular diploma within four years (a cohort) divided by the total number of youth with IEPs in the cohort times 100. Additional district graduation data for the ESEA are available at the Center for Education Performance and Information website at www.michigan.gov/cepi. See Cohort Graduation and Dropout Reports. More information about this indicator is found in the Special Education Facts from the Indicator 2: Dropout (Results Indicator) The Indicator 2 data are from 2009-2010 because the US Department of Education prescribed a one-year data lag for this indicator. All states are required to collect and report data on: the percent of youth with an Individualized Education Program dropping out of high school. The state target: less than or equal to 9.0% The state performance on the target: 6.1%. The state target was met. Source: Michigan Student Data System, Graduation and Dropout Review and Comment Application, and Student Record Maintenance The state and district performance are calculated using an event snapshot rate of students with an IEP ages 14-21. The dropout event snapshot rate calculates the number of students with an IEP who dropped out in one school year divided by the number of students with an IEP ages 14-21 who were enrolled in school that year.
Additional district dropout data for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act are available at the Center for Education Performance and Information (CEPI) website at www.michigan.gov/cepi.

More information about this indicator is found in the one page Special Education Facts from the Office of Special Education at: www.cenmi.org/documents/specialeducationfacts.aspx Indicator 4A: Suspension/Expulsion (Results Indicator) The Indicator 4A data are from 2009-2010 because the US Department of Education prescribed a one-year data lag for this indicator. All states are required to collect and report data on: suspensions/expulsions greater than 10 Days, for student with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) whether in one incident, or an accumulation throughout the school year. Michigan counts out-of-school suspensions/expulsions for this indicator. The state target: 5.0% or less of all districts will have a significant discrepancy in their suspensions/expulsions rates of among students with an IEP. The state performance on the target: 2.8%. The state target was met. Source: Michigan Student Data System District performance is calculated by identifying a significant discrepancy if more than 5% of its students with an IEP received out-of-school suspensions/expulsions for greater than ten cumulative days. Districts with fewer than five students with an IEP suspended/ expelled for more than ten days were exempt from significant discrepancy calculations. Indicator 4B: Suspension/Expulsion by Race/Ethnicity (Compliance Indicator) The Indicator 4B data are from 2009-2010 because the US Department of Education prescribed a one-year data lag for this indicator. All states are required to collect and report data on: suspensions/expulsions greater than 10 days by race/ethnicity, for students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The suspensions/expulsions may be from one incident, or an accumulation throughout the school year. In Michigan these are out-of-school suspensions/expulsions. The state target : 0% The state performance on the target: 5.9%. The state target was. Source: Michigan Student Data System (MSDS),
District performance is calculated by: identifying both 1) a significant discrepancy by race/ethnicity in rates of suspensions and expulsions greater than ten days, and 2) policies, procedures, or practices that contribute to the significant discrepancy. Michigan defines significant discrepancy as 3.6% or more of a district s students with an IEP within a racial/ethnic group are suspended/expelled greater than 10 days. Indicator 5: Educational Environments (Results Indicator) All states are required to collect and report data on: the percent of students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) aged 6-21 that receive their education A. Inside the regular class 80% or more of the day; B. Inside the regular class less than 40% of the day; C. In public or private separate schools, residential placements, or homebound or hospital placements. The state targets: A. Increase the percentage of students served inside the regular classroom 80% or more of the day to 63.0%. B. Decrease the percentage of students served inside the regular class less than 40% of the day to 11.9%. C. Maintain the percentage of students served in separate facilities at less than or equal to 4.8%. The state performance on the targets: A. 62.8%. The state target was. B. 12.7%. The state target was. C. 5.3%. The state target was. Source: Michigan Student Data System
Indicator 7: Preschool Outcomes (Results Indicator) All states are required to collect and report data on: the percent of children who a) did not improve, b) improved functioning but not sufficient comparable to same-aged peers, c) improved to a level nearer to same-aged peers but did not reach it, d) improved to reach a level comparable to same-aged peers, or e) maintained at a level comparable to same-aged peers on the following 3 outcomes: A. Positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships); B. Acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication and early literacy); and C. Use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs. The state performance is calculated using Summary Statements for each of the 3 outcomes. Summary Statement 1: Of those preschool children who entered the preschool program below age expectations in each Outcome, the percent who substantially increased their rate of growth by the time they turned 6 years of age or exited the program. Measurement for Summary Statement 1: Percent = number of preschool children reported in progress categories: c + d divided by a + b + c + d times 100. Summary Statement 2: The percent of preschool children who were functioning within age expectations in each Outcome by the time they turned 6 years of age or exited the program. Measurement for Summary Statement 2: Percent = number of preschool children reported in progress categories: d + e divided by a + b + c + d + e times 100. Data reflect all children with an IEP enrolled in this district, both resident and nonresident. Outcome Areas State Actual Performance Status Outcome A: Positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships) Summary Statement 1 87.0% 81.1% Not Met Summary Statement 2 61.0% 56.5% Not Met Outcome B: Acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication and early literacy) Summary Statement 1 87.0% 82.2% Not Met Summary Statement 2 59.0% 56.6% Not Met Outcome C: Use of appropriate behaviors to meet this needs Summary Statement 1 89.0% 80.6% Not Met Summary Statement 2 73.0% 62.5% Not Met Source: Michigan Student Data System, HighScope
Indicator 8: Facilitated Parent Involvement (Results Indicator) All states are required to collect and report data on: the percent of parents with a child receiving special education services who report that schools facilitated parent involvement as a means of improving services and results for children with an IEP.

Students ages 6-21: 22.0% of families will rate their school at or above the 600 standard score. The state performance on the targets: Children ages 3-5: 58.7%. The state target was met. Students ages 6-21: 25.9%. The state target was met. Source: National Center for Special Education Accountability Monitoring (NCSEAM) Survey State and district performance are calculated using a survey of all parents of children receiving special education services ages three through five years and one-third of all parents of school age children receiving special education services ages six through twenty-one. The NCSEAM set a national standard score of 600.

Indicator 9: Disproportionate Representation - Child with a Disability (Compliance Indicator) The Indicator 9 data are from 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 because a two-year pattern is required in Michigan. All states are required to collect and report data on: the percent of districts with a higher or lower than expected number of students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) of any racial and ethnic groups that is the result of inappropriate identification policies, procedures or practices. The state and district target: 0% The state performance on the target: 0.2%. The state target was. Source: Michigan Compliance Information System and the Michigan Student Data System The state and district performance are calculated by identifying districts that have a two-year pattern of disproportionate representation by race/ethnicity. Michigan s definition of districts with disproportionate representation includes both: a. A verified risk ratio for over-representation greater than 2.5 or under-representation less than 0.4. b. An analysis of policies, procedures and practices through state monitoring to identify whether the disproportionate representation is the result of inappropriate identification.

Indicator 11: Child Find (Compliance Indicator) All states are required to collect and report data on: the percent of initial special education evaluations completed within 60 days or a state established timeframe (for children ages 2 ½ through age 21 with parental consent to evaluate). The Michigan timeframe is 30 school days or an agreed upon written extension for completion of the evaluation and IEP, whether the student is found eligible or ineligible for special education. The state and district target: 100% The state performance on the target: 99.4%. The state target was. Source: Michigan Student Data System The state and district performance are calculated by: [(The number of children whose evaluations and IEPs were completed within the 30 school days or agreed upon extension) (the number of children for whom parental consent to evaluate was received)] times 100.
