Rates of Suspension and Expulsion

Page 3: Disproportionality / CEIS

1. Equity in suspensions rates4A: Comparison of SWD to SWOD4B: Comparison of SWD by race/ethnicity

2. When suspension rates are discrepant, is the difference due to inappropriate policies, procedures, and practices relating to the development and implementation of IEPs, the use of positive behavioral interventions and supports, and procedural safeguards

Page 4: Disproportionality / CEIS

Indicator 4A Significant discrepancy for a district is defined as a

relative difference of 160 between the rate for SWD and the rate for SWOD in the rate of suspensions and expulsions of greater than 10 days in a school year

Indicator 4B Significant discrepancy is defined as a relative difference

greater than 100 in the suspension rate for a given SWD race/ethnic category vs. suspension rate for All Other SWD within the district

INDICATOR 4A

Step 1: SWD rate= (# of SWD with OSS/EXP greater than 10 days)/# of SWD enrolled)

Step 2: SWOD rate = (# of SWOD with OSS/EXP greater than 10 days)/# of SWOD enrolled)

Step 3: (SWD rate – SWOD rate)/SWOD rate*100

INDICATOR 4B

Using Hispanic category as example

Step 1: Hispanic SWD rate= (# of Hispanic SWD with OSS/EXP greater than 10 days)/# of Hispanic SWD enrolled)

Step 2: All Other rate = (# of SWD in All Other racial/ethnic categories with OSS/EXP greater than 10 days)/# SWD of All Other racial/ethnic categories enrolled)

Step 3: (Hispanic SWD rate –All Other SWD rate)/All Other SWD rate*100

Exceeding the relative difference threshold, triggers a state level review of districts’ policies, procedures, and practices relating to the development and implementation of IEPs, the use of positive behavioral interventions and supports, and procedural safeguards

Common issues revealed:1. Disciplinary timelines

exceeded2. Failure to determine or

document if the suspension constitutes a change of placement

3. All pertinent information is not reviewed or documented during MDR

4. Data quality issues

Page 14: Disproportionality / CEIS

Correction is defined in OSEP Memo 09-02:

Correction is achieved when:

Every instance of noncompliance identified via the review of policies, procedures, and practices is corrected and verified by WVDE.

AND

If needed, the LEA has changed its policies, procedures, and/or practices that contributed to or resulted in noncompliance.

AND

Based on its review of updated data, WVDE verified that the district is correctly implementing the specific statutory or regulatory requirement(s).

Districts are required to correct any noncompliances as soon as possible, but in no case later than one year.

Page 15: Disproportionality / CEIS

SPP/APR Indicators 9 & 10 Refers to the over- or underrepresentation of students

from a specific racial/ethnic group in special education and related services that is the result of inappropriate identification

Examination must include review of general and special education policies, procedures and practices

Focus on whether there are patterns of differential treatment in the identification, referral, evaluation or eligibility of students

Must result in a change in policies, practices or procedures that contribute to the disproportionality

emotional/ behavioral disorder, mental impairment, specific learning disability, speech/language impairment, other health impairment)

Page 19: Disproportionality / CEIS

Answers the question:What is the risk of a student from a particular racial/ethnic group being identified for special education and related services compared to the risk of a student from any other racial/ethnic group?

Page 20: Disproportionality / CEIS

Step 1: Calculate risk for each group Black Students with Disabilities/Black Enrolled Asian Students with Disabilities/Asian Enrolled . .

. etc.Step 2: Calculate State Composition for

each group Enrolled Black students/All enrolled Enrolled Asian students/All enrolled. . .etc.

Step 3: Calculate weighted risk ratio [1-State Black Composition/*District Black SWD

risk]/[State American Indian Composition/*District American Indian SWD risk) + [State Asian…etc. for all others]

Don’t calculate if less than 20 enrolled

Page 21: Disproportionality / CEIS

Disproportionate representation is defined as:

a WWR of 2.0 or higher with a cell size of 20 for overrepresentation, or

a WWR of .25 or below with a cell size of 50 for underrepresentation,

ANDthe district’s review of policies,

procedures and practices confirms inappropriate identification

Monitoring Process – OverrepresentationData provided to districts in FebruaryDistrict’s compliance status is WVDE determined

Status is indicated as Met or Not MetDistrict conducts review of general and

special education policies, procedures and practices (e.g., Policy 2419 – Child Find, Evaluation, Eligibility)

Determine whether the disproportionate overrepresentation is due to inappropriate identification

Monitoring Process – UnderrepresentationData provided to districts in FebruaryDistrict’s compliance status is WVDE determined.

Status is indicated as Met or Not MetDistrict conducts review of general and special

education procedures and practices (designated school’s individual student achievement, SAT (referral) data, instructional practices by racial/ethnic groups)

Determines whether the disproportionate underrepresentation is due to inequity in practices

Indicator addresses the percent of parents with a child receiving special education services who report that schools facilitated parent involvement as a means of improving services and results for children with disabilities.

Page 32: Disproportionality / CEIS

The data for this indicator originate from the Parent Survey that is mailed each year to selected districts. All districts will be surveyed in 6 years.

Page 33: Disproportionality / CEIS

When your district is being surveyed it is very important that you encourage the parents to respond to the survey!! Thanks!!!

The US Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, will be conducting a verification visit to the state of West Virginia. This visit is to evaluate WV on:

Effectiveness with implementing a general supervision system

Collection of state reported dataFiscal management

Systems for improving child and family outcomes and protecting child and family rights.

Page 38: Disproportionality / CEIS

The Office of Special Education has asked WVPTI to help in soliciting parent input in this process by way of a parent survey. Please go to the following website:Students ages 3-21: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8H6DYJL

Birth to Three: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LVMJX6Y

The US Dept. of Ed. developed all questions on this survey.

Page 39: Disproportionality / CEIS

To date, WVPTI has disseminated the surveys through a variety of ways:

Bulk mailed to the following agencies:

• West Virginia Advocates•WV Developmental Disabilities Council•Autism Training Center•Mountain States Parents Can•Parent Network Specialists at CED•All Service Coordinators for WV Birth to Three•PERCS

Page 40: Disproportionality / CEIS

The previous agencies listed are either disseminating the surveys individually, or at trainings/activities which they attend.

WVPTI Staff and Trainers are disseminating at all activities/events/trainings, as well as individually.

WVPTI Office Staff have taken a few over the phone.

We are seeing results of the survey monkey. As of Sept. 15, we have a total of 46 surveys that have been done online.

1. Are there appropriate measurable postsecondary goals that address a) education or training, b) employment, and, as needed, c) independent living? Y N

Can the goals be measured? Will the goals occur after the student graduates from school?Based on the information available about the student, are the postsecondary goals appropriate for this student?If yes to all three, then select Y. If postsecondary goals are not stated, select N.

1. Are the postsecondary goals updated annually? Y N

Were the postsecondary goals reviewed and updated with the development of the current IEP?If yes, then select Y. If the goals were not updated with the current IEP, select N.

1. Is there evidence that the measurable postsecondary goals were based on age-appropriate transition assessment? Y N

Is the use of transition assessment for the postsecondary goals documented in the IEP?If yes, select Y. If no, select N.

1. Are there transition services in the IEP that will reasonably enable the student to meet his or her postsecondary goals? Y N

Are there transition services (at least one area) identified in the IEP that will help the student make progress toward the stated postsecondary goals? Transition services include:

instruction, related services, community experiences, development of employment and other post school adult living objectives, and, if appropriate,

acquisition of daily living skills, and provision of a functional vocational

evaluation.

If yes, select Y. If there are no transition services that support postsecondary goals, select N.

1. Do the transition services include courses of study that will reasonably enable the student to meet his or her postsecondary goals? Y N

Do the transition services include courses of study that align with the student’s postsecondary goals?If yes, select Y. If no, select N.

1. Is/are there annual IEP goal(s) related to the student’s transition services needs? Y NIs/are there annual goal(s) in the IEP that is/are related to the student’s transition services needs?If yes, select Y. If no, select N.

1. Is there evidence that the student was invited to the IEP Team meeting where transition services were discussed? Y N

For the current year, is there documented evidence on the IEP or Notice of IEP Team Meeting form that the student was invited to attend the IEP Team meeting?If yes, select Y. If no, select N.

1. Is there evidence that a representative of any participating agency(s) was invited to the IEP Team meeting with the prior consent of the parent or adult student (has reached the age of majority)? Y N NA

For the current year, is there evidence in the IEP that representatives of any of the following agencies/services were invited to participate in the IEP development. Agencies may include, but are not limited to: postsecondary education, vocationaleducation, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living or community participation for post-secondary goals?Was consent obtained from the parent or adult student?If yes to both questions, select Y.If no invitation is evident and a participating agency is likely to be responsible for providing or paying for transition services and there was consent to invite them to the IEP meeting, then select N. If it is too early to determine if the student will need outside agency involvement, or no agency is likely to provide or pay for transition services, select NA.

Does the IEP meet the requirements of Indicator 13? Y N Yes = all Ys or NA (question 8 only) for each item are selected OR No = one or more Ns are selected

If no, address this issue on your self-assessment with an improvement plan.

Indicator 13: All IEPs for transition age students document 100% of transition requirements, as described by the 8 questions on the checklist, and include

postsecondary goals with an annual update, transition assessment, course of study, services and activities enable achievement of postsecondary goals, IEP goals link to postsecondary goals, student and agencies participate in the IEP.

For any noncompliance not corrected within one year of identification, describe what actions, including technical assistance and enforcement actions that the State has taken.

Page 80: Disproportionality / CEIS

Based on the OSEP 09-02 memo, verification of correction is a 2-prong process: Correction of identified noncompliance in a timely

manner (child-specific) AND Verify district is correctly implementing regulatory

requirements (district-wide)

SEA must verify by viewing the actual data or a sample of the actual data which demonstrates the correction.
