Monitoring Priority: FAPE in the LRE
Indicator 5: Percent of children with individualized education programs (IEPs) aged 6 through 21 served:
A. Inside the regular class 80% or more of the day;
B. Inside the regular class less than 40% of the day; and
C. In separate schools, residential facilities, or homebound/hospital placements.
(20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(A))
Measurement:
- Percent = [(# of children with IEPs served inside the regular class 80% or more of the day) divided by the (total # of students aged 6 through 21 with IEPs)] times 100.
- Percent = [(# of children with IEPs served inside the regular class less than 40% of the day) divided by the (total # of students aged 6 through 21 with IEPs)] times 100.
- Percent = [(# of children with IEPs served in separate schools, residential facilities, or homebound/hospital placements) divided by the total (# of students aged 6 through 21 with IEPs)] times 100.
Data Source:
The Student Information Repository System (SIRS) used to collect individual student data on all students.
New York State (NYS) will use data collected for Table 3 of Information Collection 1820-0517 (Part B, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Implementation of FAPE Requirements) and reported annually in the 618 report to the United States Education Department (USED). These data are also provided to USED in the corresponding EDFacts files.

Explanation of Progress or Slippage
In FFY 2010, NYS met its targets for the percent of children with IEPs for all three measures:
- The percentage of students with disabilities who are in regular classes for 80 percent or more of the school day increased from 55.2 percent in the 2009-10 school year to 55.9 percent in the 2010-11 school year. The State met its target of more than 53.4 percent in 2010-11.
- The percent of students with disabilities who are in regular classes for less than 40 percent of the school day decreased slightly from 23.0 percent in 2009-10 to 22.9 percent in 2010-11. The State met its target, which was to be below 24.3 percent in 2010-11.
- The percent of students with disabilities who are educated in separate settings remained stable at 6.4 percent in 2009-10 and 2010-11. However, the State met its target to be below 6.5 percent in 2010-11.
- The percentage of students in New York City (NYC) who are in regular classes for less than 40 percent of the day increased slightly from 29.6 to 30.0 percent.
- NYC placed 8.4 percent of its students with disabilities in separate education settings. This percentage is larger than the percentages of other need/resource categories of school districts, which range from 1.6 percent for Rural High Need Districts to 7.4 percent for Large 4 Cities.
- The high need school districts tend to use the category of “in regular classes for less than 40 percent of the school day setting” for significantly greater percentages of students with disabilities compared to average or low-need school districts.
