Special Education

ESS Program Management is pleased to resume the 2025 webinar and office hours series for IDEA funding.

The ADE/ESS Academic Achievement and Inclusive Practices unit is pleased to announce professional learning opportunities for traumatic brain injury (TBI) featuring Dr. Sue Wolf from Empowerment Research.

The Exceptional Student Services Data Management team is happy to announce an upcoming October 1 Data Collection—Phase III: Non-Reconciliation training. Phase III is only for the PEAs that could not match the number of SPED students submitted in Phase I with the number of SPED students in AzEDS during Phase II. PEAs will receive an email if they qualify for Phase III on January 6th, 2025.  

We were unable to finalize the SPED07 report yesterday as planned. AzEDS integrity processing for the evening of December 11 had to be done manually and did not finish until 2:30 pm yesterday. However, this did not affect the October 1 Special Education Reconciliation results.

The Exceptional Student Services Data Management team will host the next live webinar on Special Education Data Updates on Wednesday, January 15, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
