Known Issue: Special Ed Certification Counting Students Serving Expulsion and Services Terminated

Special Education students serving an expulsion (reported on enrollment record with code 33) and revoking or ending their program services (reported with a termination code) are showing certified inaccurately on the SE roster and summary.

IDOE will review all data after the December certification closes to determine students certified incorrectly. Schools will be notified of any students with a termination to their SE program record prior to 12/1 and having an exit reason of 33. There is no further action required from the schools. No termination code will correct the students to show as excluded from the counts.

New Items Added to Knowledge Hub

Please take a moment to review the Known and Resolved Issues and In Development pages for recent updates.
