The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is beginning the process of establishing targets for the federal fiscal year (FFY) 2026-2031 State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR) and is seeking stakeholder input to help inform this work.
The SPP/APR is an important part of Kentucky’s efforts to monitor and improve outcomes for students with disabilities. Stakeholder perspectives will help KDE develop targets that are meaningful, rigorous and achievable and that reflect the experiences and priorities of those who support students with disabilities across the Commonwealth.
Who can participate?
KDE welcomes participation from a variety of stakeholders, including:
- Students and families;
- Educators and school and district leaders;
- Special education professionals;
- Technical assistance providers;
- Community and agency partners; and
- Other individuals who have an interest in improving outcomes for students with disabilities.
How will stakeholder input be used?
Stakeholders will participate in target-setting activities focused on specific indicators and have an opportunity to review information, discuss current data and trends and provide input to help inform proposed targets.
Target-setting activities will take place throughout the current school year.
Interested in participating?
Stakeholders who are interested in participating should complete the SPP/APR Target Setting interest survey. Survey responses will help KDE identify stakeholders interested in participating in upcoming target-setting activities.
Help shape Kentucky’s goals for improving outcomes for students with disabilities.
KDE encourages partners and organizations to share this opportunity with the schools, districts, families and other stakeholders they serve who may be interested in participating.
