Section 618(a) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (as reauthorized in IDEA 2004) requires that states annually make specific data under section 618(a) available to the Secretary and to the public.
Access state-level IDEA data files.
The IDEA requires states to submit a State Performance Plan and Annual Performance Report to the U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education (OSEP) each year.
The SPP/APR includes data on 17 special education indicators. The IDEA requires states to publicly report the local educational agency (LEA) data for indicators 1-14.
Data for each LEA are available on the MI School Data website. MI School Data is Michigan's official public portal for education data and is maintained by the Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI).
The data reported are for students with a disability ages 3-21, which is the age group identified in the IDEA for special education.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires states to report annually to the public on the performance of each LEA located in the state on the targets in the state's performance plan [§300.602(b)(1)(i)(A)]. The specific indicators for public reporting are designated by the United States Department of Education (USED), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP).
Data are primarily collected through the Michigan Student Data System and Catamaran which includes verification processes and surveys. In addition, the Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability (OEAA) provides Michigan Education Assessment System data.
These data are primarily from the 2022-2023 school year as federally required (per OSEP, there is a required one-year data lag for Indicators 1, 2, and 4). On February 1, 2024, each state was required to submit a State Performance Report/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR) to the USED, OSEP. The SPP/APR summarized the FFY 2022 state level performance on State Performance Plan indicator targets. The current public reporting summarizes district performance on many of those indicators.
A district would be "N/A" if it did not meet the criteria for reporting. Some examples include: A graduation rate could not be reported for a district without a 12th grade, a dropout rate could not be reported for a district if there are no 14-21 year olds, or if there were not a sufficient number of students to make calculations meaningful.
In addition, data are not shown when a district has 10 or fewer students in a subgroup, as the information is considered personally identifiable and therefore is not publicly reported in order to comply with federal and state privacy laws.
