DATA MANAGEMENT ALERT: FY 2023 Special Education Data Dashboard

DATA MANAGEMENT ALERT

FY 2023 Special Education Data Dashboard

The Special Education Data Dashboard (SEDD) opens today, May 18, 2023. This application aims to provide a one-stop shop for public education agencies (PEAs) to securely view their special education data and a redacted statewide view. By viewing relevant data in one place, PEAs can see how it all ties together and, ultimately, how it culminates into the indicators outlined in the State Performance Plan (SPP) / Annual Performance Report (APR).

Applicable roles for the SEDD application must be requested from your local ADEConnect Entity Administrator:

• SEDD LEA User includes edit permissions
• SEDD LEA Signer includes edit and signer permissions

To access the SEDD application, please login to ADEConnect, navigate to the Exceptional Student Services Portal, and select the Special Education Data Dashboard button under Data Collection & Reporting:

Currently, the only active component accessible to PEAs is the Student Exit Data for FY 2023. From the homepage of the SEDD application, you can select this component either through the ‘Data’ menu option or click ‘Go’ within the red box.

Exit data will be extracted from AzEDS daily and displayed after federal business rules have been applied (refer to the Exit technical assistance document under the ‘Help’ menu option, which will take you to the SEDD website that contains the applicable tools and resources). This data is REVIEW only. Any changes to this data must be made through your Student Information System and uploaded/synced to AzEDS. You will have until July 15, 2023, by 5:00 pm to finalize your Exit data.

For the remainder of FY 2023 data requirements, we will activate Preschool Transition Data and Students Without Disabilities (expulsion) components on June 30, 2023. Note that these two sections will require data entry to complete.

Two new components will be added on June 1, 2023: Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) and Personnel data, both based on October 1.

Please be aware that this application will be expanded further to include the following items in FY 2024 and 2025:

• SPP/APR Indicators
• PEA Determinations/Risk Analysis
• Discipline for Students with Disabilities
• Assessments
• Data Visualization
