  • State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP)

State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP)

SSIP is a three-year process within differentiated monitoring that is designed to improve the outcomes for students with disabilities. Exceptional Student Services (ESS) and Public Education Agencies (PEAs) work together as stakeholders through activities and professional development opportunities designed to strengthen and monitor district, school, and classroom systems. 

By FFY 2025, targeted Public Education Agencies (PEAs) will increase the performance of SSIP students with disabilities in grade 3 on the English Language Arts (ELA) state assessment from 9.58% to 12.23%.
