Common Core State-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) Developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts, to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce National Common Core standards have been developed in mathematics and language arts grades K-12

  12. Common Core - Florida’s InvolvementNext Steps Adoption of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics – SBE July 2010 CCSS with Florida specific standards (up to 15% of content) – SBE in Fall 2010 Inclusion of standards for students with disabilities and English Language proficiency standards for English language learners Four-year implementation that includes assessment and instructional materials development

  19. Early Intervening Services(EIS)

  20. Early Intervening Services • Districts are required to set aside 15% of IDEA funds for early intervening services if any of the following criteria are met: • Students of any race are at least 3.5 times more likely to be identified as disabled compared to all other races (SWD, MH, EBD, SLD, ASD, OHI, SILI) or • Students with disabilities ages 6-21 of any race are at least 3.5 times more likely to be placed in a separate class or other separate environment when compared to all other races (SWD, MH, EBD, SLD, ASD, OHI, SILI) or

  21. Early Intervening Services • Incidents of removal of students with disabilities through ISS, OSS, or expulsion for students with disabilities are at least 3.5 times more likely to occur when compared to all other races combined (SWD only)

  22. EIS and Indicators 4, 9, 10 • Indicators 4, 9, and 10 use risk ratios as does EIS • Key Differences: • EIS addresses “significant disproportionality” and targets services to students without disabilities • Indicators 9 and 10 address “disproportionate representation” and targets inappropriate identification of subgroups • Indicator 4 addresses disproportionate OSS and Expulsion of SWD compared to nondisabled and targets policy, procedures and practices related to discipline

  23. 15 districts were identified under EIS criteria (unduplicated): 6 districts due to identification of Black students as EBD 3 districts due to identification of Black students as IND 2 districts due to identification of White students as OHI-HH 5 districts due to discipline of Black students 1 district due to Other Separate Environment placement of Black students Note: 2 districts were identified in 2 of above areas 2010-11Early Intervening Services

  24. Use of EIS Funds • Funds may be used for: • Professional development to allow school staff to deliver scientifically based academic and behavioral interventions to eligible students • Provision of educational and behavioral evaluations, services, and supports to eligible students • Supplementing services carried out under ESEA (may not supplant)

  25. Use of EIS Funds • For districts required to use EIS funds, dollars should be used particularly, but not exclusively, for services to children in those groups that were significantly over-identified.

  26. Early Intervening Services Reporting Requirements • Districts must report all students receiving EIS under requirements in the IDEA in the automated student database regardless of whether the district is required or voluntarily using up to 15% of IDEA dollars for early intervening services (EIS) Fund source = “I” on Federal State Indicator format submitted in Survey 5

  27. Maintenance of Effort(MOE)

  28. MOE Requirements Districts must not reduce their level of state and local fund expenditures for services to students with disabilities below the level expended in the prior year

  29. MOE Calculation FDOE annually calculates using program cost data reported by districts Total ESE Expenditures Back out gifted Back out federal direct and federal through state Look at year of interest as a percentage of prior year Aggregate Per Student

  30. If MOE not met - Exceptions Calculate MOE based on local funds only Reduce MOE requirement by 50% of the increase in IDEA funds Apply reduction in child count from prior year Apply percentage change in child count to prior year expenditures Apply reduction in personnel costs associated with departure of special education or related services personnel Apply reduction based on termination of high cost special education and related services for a student Apply reduction based on termination of costly expenditures for long-term purchases

  34. Goals and Objectives GOAL 1: To ensure that Florida’s autism activities are led by partnerships between professionals and families of children and youth with ASD-DD GOAL 2: To improve Florida’s system of care for screening, diagnosis, and early intervention for children with ASD-DDs GOAL 3: To establish ASD-specific components in on-going, statewide Florida initiatives to (a) coordinate general developmental screening, (b) improve the medical home, and (c) strengthen transition to adult systems of care

  35. Governor’s Commission on Disabilities

  36. 2010 Proposed Recommendations Recommendation A-2 Design and Develop a College/University Based College Transition Program for students with developmental disabilities ages 18-22 Recommendation B-5 Design a study that will explore the State’s participation in a “Medicaid Buy-In” program, available through the federal Ticket to Work program. The study would include, but not be limited to, fiscal impact, similar alternative programs, and potential implementation timetable.
