Linkage to Determinations (if any):  Valid/Reliable data Gap Statement:  Ex: Our 2014-15 district data for percent of children (ages 3-5) with IEPs attending a regular early childhood program the majority of the day was 14%, which was significantly less than the MDE target of greater than 28.2%. (this will show current &/or CIMS data for the specific indicator in relation to all students and the State target) Root Cause  Ed Environment coded inaccurately in MSDS (Ex: coded as a 27 instead of a 46) Hypotheses:  Confusion between Ed Environment and FTE (Ex: student may have special ed. instructional time that is provided within the general ed setting)  Lack of appropriate supports for students to be successful in the general education setting  Lack of public preschool programming options  Misunderstanding of available placement options
