Performance – Data & Statistics

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requires that each state develop a State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report that evaluates the state's efforts to implement the requirements and purposes of IDEA and describes how the state will improve its implementation and results for children with disabilities.

States, including the BIE, must publicly report APR data that describes progress or slippage in meeting the measurable targets set in the SPP. In addition, the Office of Special Education Programs of the U.S. Department of Education will provide an annual determination of the state's efforts to meet the requirements of IDEA.

The Department of Education publishes the State Performance Plans Letters and Annual Performance Report Letters on its website. Use the "Select State" button, then click “Bureau of Indian Education.” This will lead you to the BIE's SPP/APR for FFY 2014 through FFY 2020 and OSEP’s response to the SPP/APR, also known as the Determination Letter.

Local Educational Agency

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requires each state to report annually to the public on the performance of each Local Educational Agency located in the state regarding the targets established in the State Performance Plan. The purpose of the BIE Special Education Annual Reports is to provide information on the data indicators that measure the State and individual LEA annual progress compared to the targets established in the State Performance Plan.
