Chapter 6: Data Reporting in the SIRS Special_Ed_Snap Template (Special Education Snapshot)
Special_Ed_Snap Template (Special Education Snapshot)
The Special_Ed_Snap template was first used in the 2007–08 school year. In previous years, school districts reported
data collected in this table in the PD-1/4 and PD-7 reports. The Spec_Ed_Snap template for October 6, 2010 will reflect data as
of October 6, 2010; the Spec_Ed_Snap template for the end-of-year snapshot (July 1, 2010 snapshot) will reflect data for any
time during the 2010–11 school year. The data collected with this template include the following:
• Type of special-education service provided to preschool students with disabilities, the service provider code, or the
coordinating service provider code if the student received services from two or more providers. This information will be
collected two times: as of October 6 and at the end of the school year. These data are reported by all school districts each
year.
• Placement status of students with disabilities in approved private schools (residential or day), school district placement, or
court placement as of October 6. These data are reported each year by all school districts (including Special Act school
districts), State-operated schools, childcare institutions with affiliated schools, and State agencies.
• The least restrictive environment setting in which preschool students with disabilities are enrolled as of October 6. These
data are reported by all school districts each year.
• The least restrictive environment setting in which school-age students with disabilities are provided special-education
services as of October 6. These data are reported each year by all school districts (including Special Act school districts),
State-operated schools, childcare institutions with affiliated schools, and State agencies.
