Suspension/expulsion data for sped students due June
30
The SD Department of Education, Office of Special Education, reminds school
districts to report suspension/expulsion data at the completion of the school
year and no later than June 30.
DOE is required to collect data at the end of each school
year regarding the long-term suspension/expulsion of students with
disabilities. Districts complete the data submission via an online system.
Instructions for submission via a password system will be included in a
mailing sent to districts from DOE.
Locate the memorandum and instructions in the mail and
use it to complete this year’s data collection. Districts may contact Mary
Weigandt at 605-773-3678 if there are questions regarding the data collection
process.
