Special Education Data Collection
Special Education End of Year Data Reporting Deadlines
Contact Information
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), OSPI is required to submit an Annual Performance Report (APR). The APR incorporates performance indicators (provided by OSEP), activities, and targets for each indicator. OSPI must also publicly report each district's annual progress for indicators 1–14.
Office Hours
Office hours with the Special Education Operations Team via Zoom are scheduled from 1–1:30 pm every Wednesday afternoon beginning on February 1. During these office hours, districts can chat about current issues and ask questions. We'll share any modifications to this schedule.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
While not required, participants are encouraged to send questions or topics they wish to have addressed during office hours in advance. Participants are welcome to ask questions or raise topics during the meeting. Questions or topics can be submitted to the special education data team.
District Data Profiles
OSPI must report annually to the public on the performance of each school district or educational service agency located in the State of Washington on the targets set in the state performance plan (SPP).
Enter the district's five-digit county-district code in the cell indicated in each Excel document to display a districts composite of performance indicators cited in the annual performance report.
