This is a request for public
comment on Michigan's proposed targets relative to services for
students with disabilities in the Least Restrictive Environment
(LRE). It is the first of four (4) requests on four different
indicators that will be posted over the next six weeks.
Under the IDEA 2004, the Michigan Department of Education's
Office of Special Education and Early Intervention Services (OSE/EIS)
is required to submit to the U.S. Department of Education a
State Performance Plan (SPP)/Annual Performance Report by
February, 2007. The purpose of this plan is to establish
Michigan's baseline performance on select monitoring priorities,
and project a plan for how Michigan will achieve proposed
performance targets established by the state through broad
stakeholder input. The OSE/EIS must report to the U.S.
Department of Education annually, the state's progress toward
achieving the proposed targets. The APR serves as an
accountability report regarding the state's compliance with the
law, progress in meeting measurable and rigorous targets, and
achieving results for children with disabilities. In accordance
with IDEA 2004, there will be annual public reporting on local
district performance results for this indicator relative to the
state targets.
The OSE/EIS has reviewed state LRE data to determine Michigan's
current baseline performance and has proposed rigorous targets
for measuring future performance. To read the complete text of
the Draft Indicator #5 language, please click on this link
