Have you found yourself wondering what Indicator 4, or significant discrepancy, is all about? Maybe you want to know more about how it’s calculated, how it differs from significant disproportionality, or what the implications and required actions are for districts. If so, this is the session for you! During the session, we will dig more deeply into the indicator and what it is measuring. This will include discussion related to long-term out-of-school disciplinary removals, how these removals translate to significant discrepancy, and the KSDE Indicator 4 process used for districts identified with significant discrepancy. The content will be beneficial for more novice district staff as well as seasoned administrators who are looking for a refresher on Indicator 4 and its associated requirements. Attendees will leave with an increased understanding of the indicator; why it is important; and how KSDE works with districts to both determine compliance with IDEA requirements and ensure that students with disabilities are appropriately served.
