State Performance Plan Annual Performance Report

The State is required to develop a six-year performance plan that evaluates the State's efforts to implement the requirements and purposes of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA), Section 616(b). The State Performance Plan (SPP) illustrates how the State will continuously improve upon this implementation, and includes updates through the Annual Performance Report (APR) submitted each February to the United States Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs.

The 2020-21 school year began the State’s current six-year reporting cycle.

State Determinations

Section 616(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires the United States Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (USDE/OSEP) to review each state’s Annual Performance Report (APR) annually. Based on the information provided in the APR, information obtained through
monitoring visits, and any other public information, the USDE/OSEP will issue one of four possible state
determinations: Meets Requirements, Needs Assistance, Needs Intervention, or Needs Substantial Intervention.

The USDE determination status letters to the State of Texas as well as information concerning how the USDE made determinations can be found on the IDEA Part B Profiles webpage.
