This document provides a detailed overview of the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) indicators for students aged 6 through 21 with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). It specifies the percentage of these students who are served in different educational settings, including those integrated into regular classrooms for 80% or more of the day, those in less integrated settings, and those in separate schools or facilities. The data assessment includes comparisons with other states and focuses on trends supporting inclusion, collaboration, and educational achievement from 2006 to 2011.
