DPA will not be conducting compliance monitoring (file reviews) at the schools this year like they did in the past However, because Indicator 11 and Indicator 13 are compliance indicators and must be at 100% as defined in the State Performance Plan (SPP), DPA has to report this data annually to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP)

3. Indicator 11 – Child Find Percent of children who were evaluated within 60 days of receiving parental consent for initial evaluation or, if the State establishes a timeframe within which the evaluation must be conducted, within that timeframe.

4. Indicator 13 – Transition Percent of youth aged 16 and above with an IEP that includes coordinated, measurable, annual IEP goals and transition services that will reasonably enable student to meet the postsecondary goals.
