WV BTT - Local Reporting

Local Reporting

Beginning in 2007, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004, requires all states to report information on each district or region's performance in meeting specific early intervention and special education targets outlined in their State's Performance Plan (SPP).

Specifically, this Act requires each state to:

Have in place a State Performance Plan (SPP) that evaluates that State's efforts to implement the requirements and purposes of this part and describes how the State will improve such implementation.
Submit an annual performance report (APR) that evaluates the state's efforts to implement IDEA 2004.
Report to the public on the performance of each school district and early intervention program relative to the targets specified in the SPP. (§616 (b)(1)(A)) Some targets are set by the federal government, and some are set by the state. This information provides local districts and communities an opportunity to see what’s working well in their special education and early intervention programs and to identify what aspects of those programs are in need of improvement.

The Indicators for WV Birth to Three Public Reporting include:

1.		Percentage of all children who receive all IFSP services in a timely manner (within 30 days of consent of parents).
2.		Percentage of all children who receive majority of early intervention services in the home or community based settings.
3.		Percentage of all children with IFSPs who demonstrate: a) improved social/emotional skills; b) acquisition/use of knowledge/skills; and c) use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs. State data reported in APR. Local data not required until FY 2009.
4.		Percentage of families who report that early intervention services helped them to: a) know their rights; b) effectively communicate their child’s needs; and c) help their children develop and learn.
5.		Percentage of all children age birth to 1 with IFSPs compared to national percentage.
6.		Percentage of all children age birth to 3 with IFSPs compared to national percentage.
7.		Percentage of all children who receive their initial IFSP within the 45-days of referral (family reasons excluded).
8.		Percentage of all children exiting WV Birth to Three who received timely transition planning to support the child's transition to preschool and other community services by their third birthday, including: a) IFSPs with transition steps and services; b) Notification to LEA, if child is potentially eligible for Special Education; and c) Transition conference, if the child was potentially eligible for Part B.

Public reporting must include broad dissemination, be accessible to individuals with disabilities, and be understandable to the general public. (§616 (b)(2)(C)

Current statewide performance on these indicators is reported in the WV Birth to Three Annual Performance Report (APR) .
