########## Number of Parent Members:

33

########## Parent Members Engagement:

Describe how the parent members of the State Advisory Panel, parent center staff, parents from local and statewide advocacy and advisory committees, and individual parents were engaged in setting targets, analyzing data, developing improvement strategies, and evaluating progress. Twenty parents attended the APR Summit and provided input on Indicators. Additional feedback was provided by parents through the survey sent following the event. The USBE SES also included parents who did and who did not participate in the APR summit or respond to the subsequent survey by presenting information about the target setting process to the USEAP, the UPC staff, and the Utah Parent Teacher Association (PTA) leadership.

########## Activities to Improve Outcomes for Children with Disabilities:

The activities conducted to increase the capacity of diverse groups of parents to support the development of implementation activities designed to improve outcomes for children with disabilities. USBE SES staff discussed with members of the USEAP and the UPC staff ways to reach out to and connect with parents who are traditionally underrepresented in the stakeholder feedback collection process. Members of the USEAP and UPC staff both proactively shared information about the target setting process with their parent constituencies from diverse backgrounds. The USBE SES will continue to work with these leaders to increase the feedback we receive from traditionally underrepresented parents.

########## Soliciting Public Input:

The mechanisms and timelines for soliciting public input for setting targets, analyzing data, developing improvement strategies, and evaluating progress. The stakeholders listed in the 'Broad Stakeholder Input' section were provided formal and informal notification on the APR su mmit and the additional survey seeking input. Mechanisms included announcements during meetings, emails, newsletter notifications, website publication, and individual conversations. Notifications began in the fall of 2020. In June 2021, a flyer including registration for the APR summit was provided to stakeholders through email and newsletters. It is evident the public received notification and responded, as over 100 participants attended and provided feedback. In addition, stakeholders were sent the survey following the event through emails and newsletters to provide additional perspective and input. The survey resulted in over 100 responses.

########## Making Results Available to the Public:

The mechanisms and timelines for making the results of the target setting, data analysis, development of the improvement strategies, and evaluation available to the public. The results of the target setting process where shared with LEA Special Education leaders, the USEAP, the UPC staff, the Disability Law Center (DLC) staff, relevant Utah PTA leadership, as well as the relevant staff at all State of Utah Agencies and most of the nonprofit organizations that serve individuals with disabilities. The target setting process results were also shared in newsletters and on the USBE special education website.

########## Reporting to the Public

How and where the State reported to the public on the FFY 2019 performance of each LEA located in the State on the targets in the SPP/APR as soon as practicable, but no later than 120 days following the State's submission of its FFY 2019 APR, as required b y 34 CFR §300.602(b)(1)(i)(A); and a description of where, on its Web site, a complete copy of the State's SPP/APR, including any revi sion if the State has revised the targets that it submitted with its FFY 2019 APR in 2021, is available. Starting in February each year, the State reports to the public on its progress and/or slippage in meeting the measurable and rigorous targets. The SPP/APR is posted on the USBE website (https://www.schools.utah.gov/specialeducation/programs/datareporting?mid=5342&tid=1). The final SPP/APR is shared at the first regularly scheduled meetings of the USBE and USEAP and with the special education directors after submission. Results are also shared with the UPC. Prior to April 15 of each year (within 120 days of the State's submission of its APR), the USBE SES prepares and publishes a summary of Indicators that are required to be publicly reported for each LEA. The summary is posted on the USBE website (https://www.schools.utah.gov/specialeducation/programs/datareporting?mid=5342&tid=1) and is made available for posting on LEA websites. The results of the FFY 2020 APR will be reported to the Utah State Board of Education in the March 2022 Board meeting.
