This report describes the range of methods used by state education agencies to report special education information to the public and the challenges related to this reporting. It begins by reviewing the reporting requirements under the No Child Left Behind Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and then reports the results of a survey of 34 state directors of special education that investigated the method and format used in the state to report information to the public. Results indicate: (1) the most common methods used for reporting data are general and special education reports. However, Web sites are increasingly being used by states to communicate information to the public; (2) information that is reported to the public is often presented to allow data from different groups of children to be viewed separately; (3) most states report on progress toward performance goals by combining the results of students with and without disabilities and reporting all student results together in general education reports; (4) 19 of the 34 states report information to the public about students who participate in assessments using accommodations and/or out-of-level testing. The report concludes by discussing the challenges that states face in public reporting of data. (CR)
