SPIN & MAC Office Infographics

SPIN has partnered with the HIDOE Monitoring and Compliance office to create infographics to learn more about the compliance indicators the HIDOE submits annually to the USDOE. Stay tuned for more infographics as we work our way through all 14 indicators.

For a comprehensive look at current special education data and the indicators on how we are doing in Hawaii, visit the Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC) website: seac-hawaii.org, then click on the “Stakeholder Engagement Meeting” link.

When Congress amended IDEA in 2004, it required states to focus on a set of specific goals aimed at improving educational results for students with disabilities, and to report once a year on progress toward these goals.

There are three main parts to improving special education:
• The State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR) that measure results & compliance,
• Determinations based on the State’s compliance and results, and
• Differentiated monitoring and support for all states, but especially low performing states.
