Updates

The Exceptional Student Services Data Management team will host the next Special Education Data Updates live webinar on Wednesday, August 16, from 2:00– 3:00 pm.

Final FY23 Special Education Data certification begins today, July 24th, and is due by August 3rd. 

The inconsistency issues with the exit data in the SEDD application have resulted from incorrect timing in our processing steps.  
The exit data in the SEDD application is static as of 7:00 am on July 19, 2023 (yesterday). 

As the new school year approaches, we encourage you to ask yourself if Secondary Transition training would be helpful for you or your staff. Whether it's a quick refresher or an in-depth professional development opportunity, the ADE/ESS team has various training options available to help meet the unique best practice needs of your school or region.

ADE/ESS has received numerous questions about Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESA) evaluations. The purpose of this Hot Topic is to help to highlight the differences between evaluations specified in federal and state special education regulations and ESA evaluations outlined in state regulations.

We are happy to share that the SEDD issue documented previously has been resolved, and the SPED exit data is again viewable within the SEDD application.

We are aware of the inability of PEAs (and ESS) to access SPED exit data within the SEDD application. This is due to issues with the application date settings. We're working with our IT team to resolve this issue quickly.

-21002 and Operational Data Store (ODS) Updates

School Finance released this Hot Topic: Update to Statewide ADM Recalculation Date (7/17/2023).

The Important Dates website has been updated to reflect this change in the Special Education Data Dashboard (SEDD) for exit data and Discipline Data Collection (DDC) due dates to ensure consistency.
