RE:  Timeline and Support Documents for 2009-2010 Special Education Report

The public release date for the fifth annual Special Education Reports is Wednesday, March 30, 2011.  In preparation for that date, I want to inform you of timelines and documents that may assist you with this required public reporting.

Timeline
March 10 - March 17:  District Preview
Drafts of the 2009-2010 Special Education Reports will be posted on the secure district site for your preview:  https://district.ode.state.or.us/apps/login/.  ODE expects each district to proof its district report and either "Accept" or "Appeal" the report.

If there are errors, ODE will expect the district to click on the "Appeal" button and provide the details of the correction(s) that the district is suggesting.  However, please be advised that ODE will not change any data that have been submitted and previously validated by the district.

March 28:  Final Special Education Reports Available to Districts
Final pdf versions of the 2009-2010 Special Education Reports will be available to districts on the secure district site:  https://district.ode.state.or.us/apps/login/.  No changes will be accepted on or after this date.
