Subject: |
PD-6 – Report of Personnel Employed or Needed to Provide Special
Education and Related Services to Students with Disabilities. Important: Due Date is February 2, 2006. |
|
Attached is a PD-6 form, Report of Personnel Employed or Needed
to Provide Special Education and Related Services to Students with Disabilities.
It must be completed by all school districts, Boards of Cooperative Educational
Services, Charter Schools, selected State agencies, State-operated schools,
State-supported schools, and approved private schools for students with
disabilities. This report is designed to collect full-time equivalent (FTE) data
on or about December 1, 2005, regarding special education personnel who are
currently employed according to their certification status and vacancies. The
New York State Education Department is required to report these data to the
United States Department of Education (USDOE) pursuant to the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) [P.L. 108-446, Section 618(a)(3)]. All schools
have been issued a User ID and password and must submit this report through our
website at http://pd.nysed.gov. Paper copies
of this report will not be accepted. The due date is February 2, 2006.
As compared to the PD-6 form for 2004-2005, the PD-6 form for 2005-2006 is
revised in the following ways:
The column for Modified License has been removed. These licenses are no longer valid and were only issued in the 2003-04 and 2004-05 school years. Please see http://www.p12.nysed.gov/specialed/publications/persprep/templicense.htm for additional information.
A new column, “Not Fully Certified” has been added to collect the full-time-equivalent number of teachers who are needed to meet the identified needs of students with disabilities, but because appropriately certified personnel are not available to fill the position, the position is filled temporarily with not fully certified personnel. Please note, last year’s directions were to report such personnel in the “Vacant but Funded Positions” column.
“Supplementary Certificates” have been added as another credential type to be included in the “Provisional Certification or Initial Certificate” column. For additional information regarding this certificate, please see http://www.regents.nysed.gov/2004Meetings/December2004/1204heppca7.htm.
In some cases two certification/position titles are listed in the same line. These are for the pre and post February 2004 K-12 certificates for disability specific titles (blind/visually impaired, deaf/hearing impaired, speech and language).
Directions have been revised to direct approved private schools for students with disabilities to report general education teachers who are not certified as special education teachers to be reported in the “Not Fully Certified” column. In previous years, directions were to count such teachers in the “Other Professional Staff” title.
Teachers of English as a Second Language and Teachers of English as a Second Language-Bilingual are eliminated from list of personnel titles for which data are required.
During the 2005-2006 school year, Strategic Evaluation Data Collection, Analysis and Reporting (SEDCAR) personnel may be available to conduct a limited number of regional training programs regarding the various special education data forms (i.e., the PD forms). If you feel that such training would be useful to the data managers in your area, please contact your local Special Education Training and Resource Center (SETRC). The data collected through the PD forms are used in one or more of the following reports and activities:
Pocketbook of Goals and Results for Individuals with Disabilities
Chapter 655 Report to the Governor and the Legislature on the Status of the State’s Schools
Special Education Quality Assurance Reviews
School District Report Cards
BOCES Report Cards
Charter School Report Cards
Calculations to identify instances of possible race/ethnicity disproportionality
Other reports required by State or federal statutes
Evaluation of programs and policies
If you have any questions or are in need of assistance in
completing this report, please contact the SEDCAR Unit.
Specific questions regarding certification/licensure requirements should be
directed to the Office of Higher Education, Office of Teaching Initiatives at
(518) 474-3901 or e-mail your questions to

Instructions and Definitions for completing the PD-6 Report
For example, do not report general education teachers who are the grade level or content area teachers of record and provide instruction to students with disabilities in the general education classrooms. As another example, if approved private schools for students with disabilities employ general education teachers to teach content area curriculum to students with disabilities and if such teachers are certified as special education teachers, they should be reported under the appropriate special education certification category. If they are not certified to teach students with disabilities in special education classrooms, they should be reported under the “Not Fully Certified” column. Please note that in previous years, instructions were provided to report such teachers under “Other Professional Personnel”.
Specific questions regarding certification/licensure requirements should be directed to the Office of Higher Education, Office of Teaching Initiatives at (518) 474-3901 or through e-mail at tcert@mail.nysed.gov You may also visit their website at http://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/ |
