DATA MANAGEMENT ALERT 

SPED Need Autism concurrently reported with Emotional Disability

Beginning FY23, an update to integrity rule -40000 took effect to allow SPED Need combination A (Autism) with ED or EDP (Emotional Disability). ESS determined this change to be in error and ESS will roll back the change to not allow this reporting combination. ESS reverted this change to maintain alignment with 34 CFR 300.8(c)(1)(ii) and A.R.S. § 15-761(1).

ESS has updated the Concurrent Need Eligibility Matrix for this correction and AzEDS will appropriately fail affected students within this fiscal year.
