About the SPP / APR
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004), Section
616(b), requires each state to develop a six-year performance plan. This
State Performance Plan (SPP) evaluates the State’s efforts to implement
the requirements and purposes of IDEA and illustrates how the State will continuously
improve upon this implementation.

January 2006
The State submitted its first State
Performance Plan that included the required baseline data and rigorous and measurable
targets for improvement during the next six years. The SPP was approved by OSEP
in May 2006. Some of the targets for performance indicators were reflective
of existing Legislative Budget Board Appropriation Act state agency performance
measures/standards (Indicator 2) and No Child Left Behind (NCLB) requirements
(Indicator 3B-C). Other performance indicator targets (Indicators 1, 3A, 4A,
5A-C, 6, and 19) were set by the Texas
Steering Committee, a group of special education stakeholders who provide
the state advisement on continuous improvement activities. The rest of the indicators
in the SPP are compliance in nature and have targets of 0% (Indicators 9 and
10) or 100% (Indicators 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, and 20). In the initial submission
of the SPP, targets and/or baseline data were not required to be reported for
indicators 4B, 7A-C, 8, 9, 10, 14, or 18. Information on improvement activities
related to each indicator was also reported.
