For districts which have data in the table above, this is the first full 3-year cohort completion cycle. As districts continue to participate in Indicator 7 data collection cycles, it is to be expected that data reliability will increase. Therefore, these data should be interpreted with caution.
For information on the data collection and reporting schedule, please see the Memorandum on the Updated Data Collection Schedule and District Cohort Assignments for the Massachusetts State Performance Plan for Special Education (MA SPP) Activities.Indicator 8 - Parent Involvement For 2008-09, the state target for Parent Involvement is 76%.
NOTES: Commonwealth of Massachusetts did not collect/report data for this indicator in the school year 2009-10.
This indicator measures the % of parents with a child receiving special education services who report that school facilitated parent involvement as a means of improving services and results for students with IEPs.For information on the data collection and reporting schedule, please see the Memorandum on the Updated Data Collection Schedule and District Cohort Assignments for the Massachusetts State Performance Plan for Special Education (MA SPP) Activities. |
Surveys Period | Data Avail | | # Surveys Issued | Surveys Returned | # Surveys Meeting Standard | % Surveys Meeting Standard | # | % | Spring 2007 | Data available | District Rate | 351 | 71 | 20.2% | 48 | 67.6% | State Rate | 39552 | 6811 | 17.2% | 5244 | 77.0% | Special Education data are suppressed for 10 or fewer returned surveys.
A survey is considered to have met the standard if the parent completing the survey was in agreement with more than 50% of the survey items (13 of 25). In order to yield reliable results, districts need at least 75 total responses. Interpret results with caution for districts with fewer than 75 surveys returned. Additionally, for districts with fewer than 75 students with IEPs, interpret results with caution when return rate is less than 50%.

Indicator 9 - Disproportionality in Special EducationIn all years, the state target for disproportionality in special education is 0%.
This indicator measures the % of districts showing a disproportionate over- or under-representation of students from racial/ethnic groups in special education that was the result of inappropriate identification policies, practices, or procedures.

These districts were subject to review of the appropriateness of their policies, practices, and procedures for special education eligibility determination and disability identification). |
| Disproportionate Over-Representation in Special Education | Disproportionality Due to Inappropriate Identification | District | No | No disproportionality found. | For information regarding how disproportionality is calculated, please see http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/,root,dynamic,TopicalBrief,7,.

There also must be evidence that the student was invited to the IEP Team meeting where transition services are to be discussed and evidence that, if appropriate, a representative of any participating agency that is likely to be responsible for providing or paying for transition services, including, if appropriate, pre-employment transition services, was invited to the IEP Team meeting with the prior consent of the parent or student who has reached the age of majority.For information on the data collection and reporting schedule, please see the Memorandum on the Updated Data Collection Schedule and District Cohort Assignments for the Massachusetts State Performance Plan for Special Education (MA SPP) Activities.. |

- Measurement B: Enrolled in higher education or competitively employed within one year of leaving high school. (see #1 + #2 below)
- Measurement C: Enrolled in higher education, or in some other postsecondary education or training program; or competitively employed, or in some other employment within one year of leaving high school. (see #1 + #2 + #3 + #4 below)
Measurements are cumulative with measurement C reflecting the total number of exiters engaged in a post-secondary activity one year after leaving high school.
For the 2009-10 school year, state targets for the three measurements of Post-School Outcomes are Measurement A: 42.3%; Measurement B: 72%; and Measurement C: 81.3%. |
