2023 Accountability Status under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)

Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §300.600 requires each state to make determinations annually about the performance of each public school district based on its annual performance relating to State Performance Plan (SPP) indicators. These determinations must be made considering information obtained through monitoring visits, other public information made available, including any audit findings, and whether the data submitted by the district are valid, reliable, and timely.
States must consider compliance and may consider other performance indicators in relation to the state’s targets for improvement for these indicators. Based upon this information, the state must determine whether the district meets the requirements and purposes of the IDEA or needs assistance, needs intervention, or needs substantial intervention in implementing the requirements and purposes of the IDEA (34 CFR §300.603). New York State makes its annual IDEA determinations based on consideration of both a district’s performance outcomes and compliance status.
Information on each public school district’s 2023 annual IDEA determination and the statewide criteria as to how that determination was made will be posted online at Annual IDEA Determinations for School Districts | New York State Education Department (nysed.gov).
