OSEP Response to SPP/APR

400 MARYLAND AVE. S.W., WASHINGTON DC 20202 - 2600 www.ed.gov The Department of Education’s mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. U NITED S TATES D EPARTMENT OF E DUCATION O FFICE OF S PECIAL E DUCATION AND R EHABILITATIVE S ERVICES June 23, 20 20 Honorable Sheila Hogan Lead Agency Director Montana Department of Health and Human Services 111 North Sanders, Room 301 P.O. Box 4210 Helena , Montana 59604 Dear Director Hogan : I am writing to advise you of the U.S. Department of Education’s (Department) 2020 determination under sect ions 616 and 642 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The Department has determined that Montana needs assistance in meeting the requirements of Part C of the IDEA. This determination is based on the totality of the State’s data and i nformation, including the Federal fiscal year (FFY) 2018 State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR), other State - reported data, and other publicly available information. Your State’s 2020 determination is based on the data reflected in the State’s “ 2020 Part C Results - Driven Accountability Matrix” (RDA Matrix). The RDA Matrix is individualized for each State and consists of: (1) a Compliance Matrix that includes scoring on Compliance Indicato rs and other compliance factors; (2) Results Components and Appendices that include scoring on Results Elements; (3) a Compliance Score and a Results Score; (4) an RDA Percentage based on both the Compliance Score and the Results Score; and (5) the State’s Determination. The RDA Matrix is further explained in a document, entitled “How the Department Made Determinations under Sections 616(d) and 642 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 2020 : Part C” (HTDMD). The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) is continuing to use both results data and compliance data in making the Department’s determinations in 2020 , as it did for the Part C determinations in 2015, 2016 , 2017 , 2018, and 2019 . (The specifics of the determination procedures and criteria are set forth in the HTDMD and reflected in the RDA Matrix for your State.) For 2020 , the Department’s IDEA Part C determinations continue to include consideration Page 2 — Lead Agency Director of each State’s Child Outcomes data, which measure how children who receive Part C services are impr oving functioning in three outcome areas that are critical to school readiness: • p ositive social - emotional skills; • acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication); and • use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs . Specifically, the Department considered the data quality and the child performance levels in each State’s Child Outcomes FFY 2018 data . You may access the results of OSEP’s review of your State’s SPP/APR and other relevant data by accessing the EMAPS SP P/APR reporting tool using your State - specific log - on information at https://emaps.ed.gov/suite/ . When you access your State’s SPP/APR on the site, you will find, in Indicators 1 through 10, the OSEP Response to the indicator and any actions that the State is required to take. The actions that the State is required to take are in two places: (1) actions related to the correction of findings of noncompliance are in the “OSEP Response” section of the indicator; and (2) any other actions that the State is required to take are in the “Required Actions” section of the indicator. It is important for you to review the Introduction to the SPP/APR, which may also include language in the “OSEP Respo nse” and/or “Required Actions” sections. You will also find all of the following important documents saved as attachments: (1) the State’s RDA Matrix; (2) the HTDMD document; (3) a spreadsheet entitled “ 2020 Data Rubric Part C,” which shows how OSEP calculated the State’s “Timely and Accurate State - Reported Data” score in the Compliance Matrix; and (4) a document entitled “Dispute Resolution 201 8 - 20 1 9 ,” which includes the IDEA section 618 data that OSEP used to calculate the State’s “Timely State Complaint Decisions” a nd “Timely Due Process Hearing Decisions” scores in the Compliance Matrix. As noted above, the State’s 2020 determination is Needs Assistance. A State’s 2020 RDA Determination is Needs Assistance if the RDA Percentage is at least 60% but less than 80%. A State would also be Needs Assistance if its RDA Determination percentage is 80% or above, but the Department has imposed Special or Specific Conditions on the State’s last three IDEA Part C grant awards (for FFYs 201 7 , 201 8 , and 201 9 ), and those Specific Conditions are in effect at the time of the 20 20 determination. States were required to submit Phase III Year Four of the SSIP by April 1 , 20 20 . OSEP appreciat es the State’s ongoing work on its SSIP and its efforts to improve results for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. We have carefully reviewed and responded to your submission and will provide additional feedback in the upcoming weeks . Additionally, OSEP will continue to work with your State as it implements the fifth year of Phase III of the SSIP, which is due on April 1, 20 21 . Page 3 — Lead Agency Director As a reminder, your State must report annually to the public, by posting on the State lead agency’s website, on the performance of each early intervention service ( EIS ) program located in the State on the targets in the SPP/APR as soon as practicable, but no later than 120 days after the State’s submission of its FFY 2018 SPP/APR. In addition, your State must: (1) review EIS program performance against targets in the State’s SPP/APR; (2) determine if each EIS program “meets the requirements” of Part C, or “needs assistance,” “needs intervention,” or “needs substantial intervention” in implementing Part C of the IDEA ; (3) take appropriate enforcement action; and (4) inform each EIS program of its determination. Further, your State must make its SPP/APR available to the public by posting it on the State lead agency’s website. Within the upcoming weeks , OSEP will be finalizing a State Profile that: (1) includes the State’s determination letter and SPP/APR, OSEP attachments , and all State attachments that are accessible in accordance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ; and (2) will be accessible to the public via the ed.gov website. OSEP appreciates the State’s efforts to improve results for infants and toddlers with disabilit ies and their families and looks forward to working with your State over the next year as we continue our important work of improving the lives of children with disabilities and their families. Please contact your OSEP State Lead if you have any questions, would like to discuss this further, or want to request technical assistance. Sincerely, Laurie VanderPloeg Director Office of Special Education Programs cc: State Part C Coordinator
