The Michigan
Department of Education has developed a six-year plan to
implement the requirements and purposes of Part B of the IDEA
2004 by addressing the three Monitoring Priorities outlined in
the law; Free Appropriate Public Education in the Least
Restrictive Environment (FAPE in the LRE), Disproportionality,
and General Supervision. Implementation of the Monitoring
Priorities is measured through a set of twenty (20) indicators
that are intended to measure elements of an effective special
education system. Each indicator will have annual targets set
for the next six
years.
The Office of Special Education and Early Intervention Services
is soliciting input from stakeholders via a web based survey.
Nine of the twenty indicators are compliance indicators that
require 100% performance every year. Four indicators are new and
require the collection of baseline data before establishing
performance targets in 2007. Seven of the indicators require the
development of measurable, rigorous targets for every year over
the six year period. Public input is sought for those seven
indicators before the submission of the plan on December 2,
2005.
The survey will be available on the Internet for public input at
www.michigan.gov/ose-eis from October
12, 2005 through November 7, 2005. Public input will also
be accepted via fax at (517) 373-7504 or surface mail at:
Michigan Department of Education, Office of Special Education
and Early Intervention Services, Quality Assurance Unit, P.O.
Box 30008, Lansing, Michigan 48909.
