Annual Performance Report

 

The Annual Performance Report (APR) is a report to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) submitted each February.  The report consists of 16 indicators and a State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP).  The indicators include graduation data, drop out data, assessment data, behavior data, least restrictive environment data, preschool outcome measures, parent involvement, disproportionality, 60-day evaluation timeline data, Part C to Part B transition data, secondary transition data, post school outcome data, and dispute resolution data.

Annual Determination

 

On June 23, 2023, Montana received its Determination letter from OSEP.  The OSEP determined that Montana Needs Assistance in meeting the requirements of the IDEA.  This determination is based on both the data submitted in the APR, data submitted through the EdFacts data submission system at the Dept of Education, and data from the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP).  For further information on how the determination was made, please read the How the Department Made Determinations document. 

 

Montana continues to work towards Meeting the Requirements of the IDEA through work with OSEP and the Technical Assistance centers funded by OSEP.  The Special Education Division also works collaboratively with other divisions of the OPI and our district and coop partners.
