Special Education Child Count Data Reports
The Child Count data collection reflects the status of children with disabilities eligible for services under the IDEA on December 1 of each year. The data are collected at the supervisory union level, according to state and federal statute and regulations. The collection includes demographic information, as well as information regarding placement (educational environment), educational location (facility) and compliance indicators (Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) and evaluations completed on time).
Special Education Personnel Data
The Agency of Education annually collects the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel who are employed or contracted to provide special education and related services to children with disabilities served under the IDEA. This information is reported to the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and is used to help the Agency of Education determine the extent of special education personnel shortages.
Special Education Cost Report
Special Education Cost Report includes average daily membership (ADM), child count and special education formula expenditures by a supervisory union. It also calculates child count as a percentage of average daily membership and special education formula expenditures per ADM. The spreadsheet is also used to determine high and low spending supervisory unions in accordance with 16 VSA §2974. High spending is defined as spending at least 20 percent more than the statewide average of special education (formula) eligible costs per average daily membership. Please note that the spreadsheet does not reflect resubmission of data by supervisory unions after they are notified of their high-spending status.

State Systemic Improvement Plan
The Agency of Education has released the report on Phase III of the State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP), as required by OSEP. In previous filings, Vermont described the rationale for choosing the Statewide Identified Measurable Result which is to improve proficiency of math performance for students identified as having an emotional disturbance in grades 3, 4 and 5. This Phase III report describes any revisions to previous submissions in Phases I (2015) and II (2016) as well as the collaborative efforts required to further the SSIP work. The Vermont Agency of Education continues its focus on developing a continuum of supports for all students in Vermont schools utilizing an academic and behavioral Multi-tiered System of Support to ensure there is a well-defined universal core program, tailored intensive instruction, and a response to interventions for students.
