State Performance Plan - Transition Indicators
The regulations for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 require each state to submit a State Performance Plan (SPP) detailing how it plans to meet the requirements of Part B, the education of children with disabilities ages 3 through 21. Current SPPs cover the period from 2005 to 2010 and are updated annually via the Annual Performance Report.
The Annual Performance Report (APR) describes progress or slippage in meeting the rigorous targets established in the SPP, revisions to state targets, improvement activities, timelines, resources, and justifications for any revisions. Performance and compliance targets in the SPP and APR are established for 20 indicators, of which four focus on transition:
Indicator 1 – Percent of youth with IEPs graduating from high school with a regular diploma.
Indicator 2 – Percent of youth with IEPs dropping out of high school.
Indicator 13 – Percent of youth aged 16 and above with an IEP that includes coordinated, measurable, annual IEP goals, and transition services that will reasonably enable the student to meet the post-secondary goals.
Indicator 14– Percent of youth who had IEPs, are no longer in secondary school, and who have been competitively employed, enrolled in some type of postsecondary school, or both, within one year of leaving high school.
