LEA Profile Information
The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) requires states to publicly report how the Local Education Agency (LEA) compares (profiles) to the state’s State Performance Plan (SPP)/Annual Performance Report. The data used are from the 2021-22 reporting year for all indicators except Indicators 1, 2, and 4 which use 2020-21 lag data. Data include the LEA’s results on Indicators 1-14 on the SPP. LEA indicator results are compared to the state target. There are no points or levels. There are simply results on the indicators. The profile provides stakeholders with information about the LEA on the requirements of IDEA.
In this document, you will find your LEA Data Profile (Indicators 1-14) for the 2021-22 reporting year. A score of “0” will automatically result in Targeted Assistance in the area of deficiency.
LEA Determination Information
The LEA determinations are required by OSEP and do not include all indicators. The determinations use of indicators are 1) required by OSEP to be included and 2) identified by the Office of Special Education Services (OSES) as the most influential to outcomes. Results are grouped into two factors - Compliance Factors (CF) and Performance Factors (PF).
The State will publish district determinations annually. The OSEP requires the OSES to make a “determination” or rank the LEA on a specific level that determines assistance or Technical Assistance (TA) for the LEA. OSES uses the determinations to inform the LEA’s of their tier level.
In this document, you will find your LEA Determination for the 2021-22 reporting year.
The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) requires each State Education Agency (SEA) to consider the following information in annual Local Education Agency (LEA) determinations: performance on specific Part B State Performance Plan (SPP) compliance indicators (4B, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13), valid and reliable data, correction of identified noncompliance, and other relevant data available to the state that reflects on LEA implementation of the IDEA. For South Carolina, the factors for LEA determinations are grouped into two categories – Compliance (CF) and Performance (PF).
Pursuant to the IDEA, each LEA determination will indicate a level of assistance required for the LEA:
- Meets the requirements and purposes of IDEA (Tier 1)
- Needs assistance in implementing the requirements of IDEA (Tier 2)
- Needs intervention in implementing the requirements of IDEA (Tier 3)
- Needs substantial intervention in implementing the requirements of IDEA (Tier 4)
This year, LEAs received two versions of the LEA Annual Determinations, one based on the system that has been in place for several years and one based on the modified system that was discussed with LEAs in May and June. The tier/technical assistance designation for each LEA is based on the version that yields the highest result for the LEA. Requirements for the designated tiers will be forthcoming.
