DATA MANAGEMENT ALERT

Edit summarySpecial Education Data Dashboard: Review and Certification Process

The Special Education Data Dashboard (SEDD) is open and accessible for your review. The SEDD application displays student data reported to the Arizona Education Data Standards (AzEDS), fitting the module requirements below. Any necessary updates should be made in your Student Information System (SIS) promptly to sync to AzEDS and will reflect in SEDD the following day.

1. Student Exit Data: Review
   • This module displays exit data for Special Education (SPED) students based on specific exit codes, age range, and dates as outlined in the SPED Exit Flow Chart. It is expected that each PEA reviews this data to ensure compliance with federal SPED guidelines.
2. Preschool Transition Data: Data Entry
   • Public School Districts with Boundaries are required to enter data for students transitioning from the Arizona Early Intervention Program (AZEIP) to Part B. If not applicable, this module will be inactive.
3. Students Without Disabilities: Data Entry
   • This module captures data on students without disabilities with an expulsion (W3) exit code. Each PEA is expected to indicate if such students received educational services during expulsion. This module will be inactive if not applicable.
4. Discipline Data: Review
   • This module displays discipline incidents for SPED students that resulted in a removal from their educational environment. PEAs should review to ensure accurate reporting using the Discipline Data Technical Assistance Manual.

All modules must be monitored and reviewed by July 15, at which time the data in SEDD will become locked and un-editable.

SEDD will reopen on July 22 for the Certification, accessible only to users with the ESS SEDD: Signer role. During Certification, PEAs are required to certify their data within the SEDD application. Certification must be completed by August 5, 2024. Certification is required of all PEAs, including those with no qualifying data within the modules.

• TA Manual: Special Education Data Dashboard
• SPED Exit Flow Chart: Which Students Are Included?
• Discipline Data Guidance Manual
• AzEDS SPED Reporting Resources
