Update: End of Year Data Collection Training

As of now, the end of year special education data collection will still occur on July 1, and districts will be held liable for the quality of their data. Until OSEP advises otherwise, we must collect and report all required data elements per IDEA.

However, the in-person training seminars for the end-of-year data collection/reporting have been cancelled. All training will be done online. You may still register for the shorter webinars on April 21 and 22, or participate in a longer comprehensive webinar on March 31st. (We know you may still be out, but are offering this early training for those who want to attend.). Please see the attached document for all registration links. Please email ginger.elliott-teague@sde.ok.gov with training questions. Slides will be posted sometime in the next week or two for viewing.
