Narrative Description of Indicator

Indicator 11: Child Find

In accordance with the OSEP Part B Measurement Table, a State may factor out the §300.301(d) exceptions and State timeline exceptions from both the numerator and denominator. Federal and State timeline exceptions include:

Parent repeatedly failed or refused to make the child available [§300.301(d)(1)]
Student enrolled after the 60-calendar day time frame has started and prior to determination by the previous public agency. Receiving LEA made sufficient progress to complete evaluation, and to a specific time to complete the evaluation (All conditions must be met.) parent and LEA agreed [300.301(d)(2) and (e)]; and
Parent requests a delay and the timeline is extended by mutual written agreement [COMAR 13A.05.01.04A(4)]
Inclement weather - Acceptable Reason

Other Data for this Indicator

The MSDE, DSE/EIS identified 986 students with "unacceptable reasons for delays", an increase of 329 students from FFY 2021 (FFY 2021 = 657 students). The unacceptable reasons for delays included: paperwork error, inconclusive testing results, the student was not available (not parent failure/child refusal), staffing issues; and due to other reasons. An analysis of these data identified the following range of days for all unacceptable reasons:

475 (1 day to 15 days) = 48.19%
329 (16 to 45 days) = 33.32%
182 (beyond 45 days) =18.49%
