State Performance Plan and Annual Performance Report

State Performance Plan (SPP) and Annual Performance Report (APR)

Every state must develop and submit for federal approval a State Performance Plan (SPP) that outlines the actions the State will take to implement the purposes of the IDEA and that explains how the State will evaluate its progress in these areas. In an Annual Performance Report (APR), each State must report on its progress and on the progress of children with disabilities toward meeting the goals established in the APR.

State Determination

Annually, based on the SPP/APR submission, other state-reported data, and other publicly available information, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) makes a determination as to whether each state “meets requirements,” “needs assistance,” “needs intervention,” or “needs substantial intervention” in meeting the requirements of the IDEA.

Public Reporting of IDEA Part B Data (PEA Performance by Indicator)

Each State must also report annually to the public on the performance of each public educational agency (PEA) located in the State on the targets in its Part B – SPP as soon as practicable, but no later than 120 days following the State’s submission of its Part B – APR to the United States Department of Education.
