## Indicator 15: Resolution Sessions

######## Instructions and Measurement

Monitoring Priority Priority : Effective General Supervision Part B / General Supervision Results Indicator: Indicator: Percent of hearing requests that went to resolution sessions that were resolved through resolution session settlement agreements. (20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(B))

########## Data Source

Data collected under section 618 of the IDEA (IDEA Part B Dispute Resolution Survey in the EDFacts Metadata and Process System (E MAPS )).

########## Measurement

Percent = (3.1(a) divided by 3.1) times 100.

########## Instructions Sampling is not allowed.

Describe the results of the calculations and compare the results to the target. States are not required to establish baseline or targets if the number of resolution sessions is less than 10. In a reporting period when the number of resolution sessions reaches 10 or greater, develop baseline and targets and report on them in the corresponding SPP/APR. States may express their targets in a range (e.g., 75-85%). If the data reported in this indicator are not the same as the State's data under IDEA section 618, explain. States are not required to report data at the LEA level.

########## Targets: Description of Stakeholder Input

The USBE values stakeholder engagement and input and solicits ongoing feedback and review. Stakeholders consistently provide input through collaborative meetings, public comment, written communication, survey data, data analysis, and informal conversations. The USBE shared data and target information during a full day APR summit, through surveys, USBE meetings, in newsletters, emails, and on social media with stakeholder groups, including: •LEA Special Education Directors •Utah Special Education Advisory Panel (USEAP) •USBE Committees •Utah Legislative Committees •Utah Parent Center (UPC) •LEA Curriculum and Assessment Directors •LEA Preschool Coordinators •LEA Ad ministrators •Utah Institutes of Higher Education (IHEs) •Baby Watch/Early Intervention (Utah's Part C agency) •Agencies and non -profit organizations that provide services to students with disabilities •Utah Educators The APR summit was held virtually on July 30, 2021. Over 100 participants attended from the stakeholder groups and those with individual interests. Participants reviewed data and the projections for the State in 2025 - 2026. Participants were provided with an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of predictive models as well as an overview of the mindset for target-setting. Participants were told they would be selecting the end target (2025 - 2026) for a given Indicator. The State would then calculate intervening targets between FFY2020 and FFY2025 whereby there would be no increase in the target the first year, followed by increases in small increments. Using small increments at the beginning is to allow enough time for LEAs to implement initiatives and to change practices so they can realistically meet the targets along their way to the rigorous end target. After this overview, the participants then determined a challenging and achievable target for the 2025 - 2026 school year. The USBE calculated intervening targets and shared these intervening targets with the participants as well as additional stakeholders to get final approval for all the targets. A survey was sent out and 101 individuals participated. Most participants identified as white females in suburban parts of Utah. American Indian or Native Alaskan, Hispanic/Latino, and individuals who identified as two or more races also participated. Targets were impacted by this stakeholder feedback. The USBE recommended targets for Indicator 5 were considered too high by participants. The USBE revised the targets to maintain rigor and develop reasonable targets manageable by the LEAs. Targets were developed after review of historical data, in consultation with the USBE statistician, APR summit and APR survey review, and subsequently reviewed and adopted by USBE staff, USEAP, and LEAs.
