IDEA sections 616 and 642 require the OSEP to review the APR each year. Based in the State’s APR, information obtained through monitoring visits, and any other public information, the department will determine if the State:
  1. Meets Requirements,
2. Needs Assistance,
3. Needs Intervention, or
4. Needs Substantial Intervention.
States are required to enforce IDEA by making “determinations annually under IDEA section 616 (e) on the performance of each LEA under Part B. States must use the same four categories in IDEA section 616(d) as OSEP in making determinations of the status of LEAs.
States must consider the following in making these determinations:
  1. Performance on compliance indicator’s,
2. Whether data submitted by LEAs are valid, reliable, and, timely,
3. Uncorrected noncompliance from other sources; and,
4 Any audit findings.
The following criteria and rubrics outline Alaska’s Determination setting process.
