The Illinois State Performance Plan Indicator 8 requires ISBE to conduct a survey of parents of students with disabilities. ISBE will be sending this survey annually to a random sample of parents of students with disabilities. Districts will not be required to conduct these parent surveys, but the following fields are required components for student I-Star records: Resident Address Resident City Resident State Resident ZIP Code This address should be the address of the parent/guardian who makes the educational decisions on behalf of the student. These fields are not required for I-Star records using Fund Codes N or U. STATE PERFORMANCE PLAN INDICATOR 11 Indicator 11 measures the percentage of students with initial parental consent to evaluate who were evaluated and had eligibility determined within 60 school days. A school day is defined as a pupil attendance day based on the evaluating official calendar submitted annually to ISBE. The district’s evaluating district is the resident district of the student at the time of the initial eligibility determination, unless the student has been parentally placed in a nonpublic school (Fund Code L or P). The evaluating district for students parentally placed in a nonpublic school (Fund Code L or P) is the district whose boundaries include the area where the nonpublic school is physically located. Indicator 11 data is required for all student records. I-Star records without Indicator 11 data will result in errors. If Indicator 11 data is not provided, one of the following reason codes must be entered to avoid an error: 01 Initial eligibility determination was completed prior to August 1, 2006. 02 Initial eligibility determination completed when the student was a resident of another district. 03 The student was referred from the Child and Family Connections office and the IEP team determined further evaluation was unnecessary. (This code is only applicable for students transitioning from Early Intervention to Early Childhood Special Education at age 3). Please note: Only initial parental consent and eligibility determination dates should be reported. Do not provide re-evaluation dates. For students who had an initial eligibility determination after August 1, 2006, the following information is required to avoid an error: Date initial parental consent for evaluation signed (i.e., the date that the parents sign the consent form). Date initial eligibility determination completed (i.e., the date of the eligibility determination meeting).
