Special Education Snapshot - RE (Legacy)
Contents
Introduction
This template describes the primary details of students' participation in special education in the current school year. Only students in school age programs K4 – 12 who have a valid IEP on 12/1 should be included in the December submission. Written in the Reporting Engine (RE) Platform.
All Pennsylvania school districts and charter schools must submit the following templates as part of the Special Education Data Collection:
- Student
- Special Education Snapshot
NOTE – A corresponding Student template record must exist for each student record in the Special Education Snapshot. The DQE will determine if a student record has been uploaded by the Special Education Reporting LEA for the current school year. If no student record exists, an error report will be generated. The student records on the error report must be uploaded in the Student template before the corresponding Special Education Snapshot records will be accepted.
This report is moved to the Legacy section on the State Reports page.
