2. District General Information and Significant Trends or Changes

On July 1, 2006 Plainview School District #810 and Elgin-Millville School District #806 consolidated to form Plainview-Elgin-Millville School District #2899. The December 1, 2005 Plainview Child Count total enrollment was 1,093 students. The December 1, 2005 Elgin-Millville Child Count total enrollment was 519. This brings the consolidation enrollment to 1,612 students. The Plainview special education population was 134 students and the Elgin-Millville special education population was 66 students, bringing a total special education population of 200 students for PEM. The Plainview Special Education Department consisted of a coordinator who was less than full time, 11 special education teachers, and a special education secretary. Elgin-Millville consisted of 3.5 special education teachers, with the elementary principal acting as special education coordinator. PEM currently has a full time special education coordinator, 15.5 special education teachers, and a full time special education secretary. Special education teachers and students are located in four buildings in two communities. PEM is part of the Hiawatha Valley Educational District. Minnesota Department of Education validation was in March of 2007. Twelve citations were issued for the Plainview School District and five citations were issued for the Elgin School District. Seventeen corrective action plans have been submitted to MDE for our combined special

MNCIMP:SR Profile • Starting with the first year of planning, indicate the number of years the district/cooperative has participated in Self-Review. • If assistance is needed, contact your district’s lead compliance specialist. • Update this section annually. • For cooperatives or education districts, report each member district’s information individually as appropriate. • Report any extenuating circumstances that impact the district demographics or disability demographics, i.e. open-enrolled student population, opening of a new group home

in the district, etc. Number of Years in Self-Review: Date of last MDE Validation: Date of next MDE Validation:

2. District General Information and Significant Trends or Changes education program. Educational trends for the newly consolidated PEM district will begin with the data collected during the 2006-2007 school year. A Response to Intervention Program existed in grades 1 and 2 during the 2006-2007 school year. The RTI program will expand to include kindergarten and third grade during 2007-2008. Data Sources for this report include: 1. 2005 Federal Child Count Reports 2. MDE Web Based Reports of District Information from 2005-2006 3. Department of Accountability and Compliance District Citation Report with students, March 2007.

3. MNCIMP:SR Membership Selection Process The Hiawatha Special Education District (HVED) selected at least one member from each of the 13 school districts to participate in the CIMP process. The original team was formed during the 1999-2000 school year. Plainview Community School was represented by the special education coordinator and a parent. The following year two additional special education teachers joined the Plainview leadership team. Plainview participated in the cluster level team consisting of diverse representatives from six neighboring school districts. The Elgin-Millville CIMP team has existed since 2000. The special education staff collaborated to write the CIMP Report based on evidence collected and analyzed from a variety of sources. The team included administration from the elementary and high school, as well as the HVED south cluster special education director. During the 2005-2006 school year, anticipating consolidation of the two districts, writers of the 2005 CIMP Report from both districts collaborated and shared information. The current PEM special education staff spent one afternoon in April reviewing CIMP goals and planning for future goals. CIMP team members attending training during 2006-2007 school year consists of the special education coordinator and the special education secretary. Diversified membership will be sought during the second year of PEM consolidation.

4. MNCIMP:SR Parental & Community Involvement

How are parents and community involved in the MNCIMP:SR planning process, analysis of the data, and Action Planning process? The annual meeting of the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) was held on November 20, 2006 during fall parent-teacher conferences. Parents heard oral reports from the special education teachers including updates on the Response to Intervention Program, data collection, as well as a speaker from the Friendship Center.

4. MNCIMP:SR Parental & Community Involvement How is your district’s MNCIMP:SR status and progress disseminated to parents, community, and other stakeholder groups? A copy of the CIMP Report is given to members of PAC, school administrators, and all special education teachers. The PEM district newspaper, the Paw Print, will be used as a vehicle to share information with every family in district 2899. On June 11, 2007 the special education coordinator will report on CIMP progress to the PEM school board. The minutes of this meeting will be posted on the district website. The special education department maintains a link on the school website.

5. Special Education Mission and Belief Statements Mission Statement: PEM will provide educational opportunities so that learners will reach their maximum potential as independent, successful, productive adults.

Belief Statements: PEM will provide quality programming using best practices to ensure students receiving special education services become independent learners and productive, responsible citizens.

Have you changed the mission and belief statements from your previous report? YES X NO If yes, provide rationale for the change. The Plainview mission and belief statements have been consolidated with the Elgin-Millville statements, and are now the PEM mission and belief statements.

Special Education Goal Statements Describe the process for development of the goal statements: The Plainview Community School leadership team and the Elgin-Millville leadership team developed goal statements during several planning meetings throughout the school year. The PEM leadership team adopted our new goal statement during an April 2007 special education staff meeting.

Goal Statements: 1. All school staff will provide or support appropriate services to special education students and programs. 2. Special education staff will promote and follow due process mandates. 3. Special education staff will promote parent/student involvement in planning, programming, and monitoring special

education student’s services. 4. Data collection will be utilized to develop, implement, and evaluate special education programs.

Have you changed the goal statements from your previous report? YES NO X If yes, provide rationale for the change.

6. Program Evaluation Directions: Student Achievement

• Report and provide an analysis for any grade and subject in which the district did not demonstrate adequate yearly progress (AYP) for the special education population. Small districts of similar size within a cooperative or education district may be grouped for reporting purposes.

• Select the degree of need (high, medium or low) based upon the urgency to implement change as determined by district criteria established by the leadership team. For each area designated as a high need, linkage with the District’s Improvement Plan under NCLB for the following school year must be provided (see Future Action Plan section of this report).

The district report cards for ISD 810 and ISD 806 are no longer available on the MDE website, due to consolidation on July 1, 2006. As per John Comstock, of MDE, information was gathered from the PEM district office, with the following results for special education students: 3rd grade – 3 special education students were included in the 9% Elgin-Millville and 3% of Plainview of non proficient students in reading, and 0 in the 9% Elgin-Millville and 9% Plainview of non proficient in math. 4th grade – 10 special education students were included in the 24% Elgin-Millville and 22% Plainview of non proficient students in reading, and 6 in the 24%Elgin-Millville and 18% Plainview of non proficient in math. 5th grade – 6 special education students were included in the 12% Plainview of non proficient students in reading, and 6 in the 19%Elgin Millville and 33% Plainview of non proficient in math. 6th grade – 7 special education students were included in the 21% Elgin-Millville and 19% Plainview of non proficient students in reading, and 9 in the 15% Elgin-Millville and 32% Plainview of non proficient in math. 7th grade – 5 special education students were included in the 33% Elgin-Millville and 20% Plainview of non proficient students in reading, and 5 in the 31% Elgin-Millville and 29% Plainview of non proficient in math. 8th grade – 9 special education students were included in the 46 % of Elgin-Millville and 32% of Plainview non proficient students in math, and 9 in the 49% of Elgin-Millville and 22% of Plainview of non proficient in reading. 10th grade – 5 special education students were included in the 30% Elgin-Millville and 28% Plainview of non proficient students in reading. 11th grade – 7 special education students were included in the 76% Elgin-Millville and 71% Plainview of non proficient students in math. PEM is unable to determine AYP because the MCA I and MCA II do not have matching criteria. Also, the Elgin-Millville computer labs could not support systems for NWEA testing. With new labs, the NWEA will be a measure of growth twice during the 2007/2008 school year.

If your district missed AYP last year for the first time, it is possible that next year your district will officially be in “needs improvement” status. How do you plan to improve the proficiency levels of students with disabilities? Respond below.

This indicator relies on accurate feedback via the state ECSE data collection system. Because the data is reported as an “administrative unit” for P-E-M (which includes all of Hiawatha Valley Education District data), it is felt there were some systemic breakdowns in data reporting for this year. There is evidence that reports were submitted to MDE on time, but those reports have not been tracked and included in the data. Extensive training has been done for all ECSE teachers and their directors this year, and Hiawatha Valley Education District is confident that future data will reflect compliance in this area. B.

Part B and Part C SPP/APR (all) 8. Record Review Directions

• Records selected for review must be a demographically representative sampling of a district‘s students in special education. • The representative areas include but are not limited to disability, race/ethnicity, age and gender. • The Part B record sample and the Part C record sample must be determined separately. • A tool to use to determine an appropriate sample size can be found at: http://www.surveysystem.com/sscalc.htm.

• Report a summary of findings for each TSES area that has non-compliance identified in one or more student files. • Include the total number of records identified with non-compliance and the total number of records reviewed, e.g. “5 of 10 secondary

transition records lacked a secondary transition evaluation by age 14 or grade nine.” • Indicate if the records reviewed were Part C or Part B. The record review data must be reported separately. • Under the “Compliance Status” column, check “individual student non-compliance” if one or more student records were identified. • Check “MDE systemic non-compliance”, if non-compliance is identified based on compliance findings from a variety of sources including

but not limited to compliance review of individual student records, stakeholder survey responses and complaints identified within the monitoring cycle.

• Each TSES area listed as “MDE non-compliance” must be included in the Action Plan. • For each student file identified with non-compliance, submit the individual student information electronically using an Access

Monitoring Database report by student and citation. If the report is not available, the information can be burned on a CD which can be sent to MDE.

• Do not send paper copies of the individual student data. Record Review Process and Sampling Procedures

Describe the district’s sampling procedures and record review process: Validation was completed at the Hiawatha Valley Education District during March, 2007. The corrective action reports have been submitted to our Director of Special Education, Amy Adams.

9. Longitudinal Review Directions (optional) • Include the number of longitudinal records reviewed. • Internal consistency reporting pertains to each indicator used to determine the consistency of documentation from initial or prior evaluation to

the most current evaluation. Secondly, internal consistency addresses whether or not the three consecutive IEP were consistent with the IEP process. Address the quality indicators as strengths or weaknesses found in the review.

• Conferred benefit pertains to the data used to determine whether the student benefits from his/her special education program and service over time. Determine if growth was evident from evaluation to evaluation and across three consecutive IEP.

• Determine the degree of need (high, medium or low) based upon the urgency to implement change as determined by district criteria established by the leadership team. Each area designated as a high need must have a corresponding Action Plan for the following school year (See Future Action Plan section of this report).

• Refer to the 2004 MNCIMP:SR Guidelines and Resources Manual for additional directions, sampling procedures, and resources.
