information collection is estimated to average 8 hours per SEA and 3.5
hours per LEA response, including the time to review instructions,
search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and
review the information collection. If you have any comments concerning
the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this

General Instructions

Provide a count of the number of children with disabilities reported
under IDEA, Part B who exited special education in 2000-2001. Data are
to be provided by age, disability category, basis of exit, and
race/ethnicity. All data provided must sum, as an unduplicated count, to
Section B of the table where you report the total for all disabilities.
**The age of the student should reflect his/her age in years on the date
of the child count, not at time of exit.**

[Sampling Guidelines]{.underline}

States may use sampling to obtain these data. When sampling is used, a
description of the sampling methodology, including a statement about how
the design will yield valid and reliable estimates that must be
submitted to OSEP for approval. The level of precision of the estimates
to be obtained must be specified. States must submit sampling plans to
OSEP for approval by September 30, 2001.

OSEP will evaluate the validity of the sampling plans using the
guidelines below.

1\. The sampling framework may include all school districts or a sample
of districts. If a State chooses to sample districts, all districts with
average daily memberships of over 25,000 *must* be included in the
sample. States with more than 25 districts with ADMs over 25,000 *must*
include all districts with over 50,000 ADM and sample the remaining
districts. The total number of districts sampled *must* equal or exceed
100. If the total number districts in the State is 100 or fewer, data
must be collected from all districts.

2\. When sampling students, whether for all districts or for a sample of
districts, data must be collected separately for each Federal disability
category. All students whose domicile is in a district must be eligible
for the sample including those students served in cooperatives and/or
intermediate units or in residential programs out of the district.

3\. A minimum sample of 100 children *must* be used by all districts,
except where the total number in a disability category is less than 100.
In such a case, data *must* be collected for all students in that
category.

States that use sampling will provide OSEP with weighted rather than
unweighted data. A description of the final sample sizes and the weights
used should also be provided at the time the data are provided.

Specific Instructions

[Sections A-C]{.underline}

In these tables, enter an unduplicated count of all children with
disabilities, by age category and disability, who exited special
education during the reporting year. States must use a 12-month interval
for reporting exiting data. *In the upper right hand corner of the form,
[States must specify the 12-month reporting period being
used]{.underline}.* The exiting report is due on the November 1st
subsequent to the completion of the State\'s 12-month reporting period.
Place zeros (0) in categories where no children have exited the program.
Enter (-9) for categories not used by the State.

Row A. No longer receives special education. Total who were served in
special education during the previous reporting year but at some point
during that 12-month period, returned to regular education as a result
of having met the objectives of their IEP. These are students who no
longer have an IEP and are receiving all of their educational services
from a general education program.

Row B. Graduated with regular high school diploma. Total who exited an
educational program through receipt of a high school diploma identical
to that for which students without disabilities are eligible.

Row C. Received a certificate. Total who exited an educational program
and received a certificate of completion, modified diploma, or some
similar document. If your State does not use certificates, enter -9 in
the appropriate cells.

Row D. Reached maximum age. Total who exited special education because
of reaching the maximum age for receipt of special education services,
including students with disabilities who reached the maximum age and did
not receive a diploma.

Row E. Died. Total who died. Breakouts by age are optional for students
who died.

Row F. Moved, known to be continuing. Total who moved out of the
catchment area and are *KNOWN* to be continuing in another educational
program. There need not be evidence that the student is continuing in
special education, only that he/she is continuing in a general education
program. This row includes transfers and students in residential
drug/alcohol rehabilitation centers or correctional facilities.

Row G. Moved, not known to be continuing. Total who moved out of the
catchment area and are *NOT KNOWN* to be continuing in another
educational program. This row includes students who have moved out of
the catchment area, and there is no evidence (e.g., a record request) to
indicate that they have enrolled in another educational program. **The
use of this category requires that the LEA verify that the family is no
longer at their last known residence.**

Row H. Dropped out. Total who were enrolled at some point in the
reporting year, were not enrolled at the end of the reporting year, and
did not exit through any of the other bases described. This row includes
dropouts, runaways, GED recipients,[^1] expulsions, status unknown, and
other exiters.

Row I. Total of rows (A)-(H).

[Section A]{.underline}

Report the number of students ages 14-21 that exited special education
by age-year, disability condition, and basis of exit.

[Section B]{.underline}

Report the total number of students ages 14-21 that exited special
education by age-year and basis of exit. These figures must equal the
sum of the data reported in Section A.

[Section C]{.underline}

Report the total number of students ages 14-21 that exited special
education by race/ethnicity and basis of exit. These figures must equal
the total data reported in Section B.

In November 1997, OMB announced its decision concerning the revision of
Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative
Reporting. In that announcement, OMB reported that there would be five
racial categories \-- American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or
African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White
\-- and one ethnic category \-- Hispanic or Latino. Additionally, OMB
announced that individuals would be allowed to select as many
race/ethnicity categories as were applicable. Under the new reporting
requirements a single, multi-racial category cannot be used. OSEP is
currently working with OMB and other offices within ED to develop
reasonable categories for capturing aggregated data. OSEP expects to use
the new categories in the coming years.

Race/ethnicity categories are defined as follows:

  --------------------- -------------------------------------------------
  American Indian or    A person having origins in any of the original
  Alaska Native         peoples of North and South America (including
                        Central America), and who maintains tribal
                        affiliation or community recognition.

  Asian or Pacific      A person having origins in any of the original
  Islander              peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the
                        Indian subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands. This
                        area includes, for example, China, India, Japan,
                        Korea, the Philippine Islands, and Samoa.

  Black (not Hispanic)  A person having origins in any of the Black
                        racial groups of Africa.

  Hispanic              A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central
                        or South American, or other Spanish culture or
                        origin, regardless of race.

  White (not Hispanic)  A person having origins in any of the original
                        peoples of Europe, North Africa or the Middle
                        East,.

  Total                 The unduplicated total across the race/ethnicity
                        designations.
  --------------------- -------------------------------------------------

Note that children can only be reported in [one]{.underline}
race/ethnicity category.
