SPP/APR Submission Guidance

States must submit an Annual Performance Report (APR) describing their progress in meeting each State Performance Plan (SPP) Part C and Part B 619 indicator. Resources are available to help states understand the purpose of the SPP/APR, the reporting requirements for each indicator, and how to prepare and submit the report:

  1. SPP/APR Basics, What You Need to Know Modules. Currently being updated to reflect Indicators C12 and B18, this training series is a collection of self-directed modules that provide a basic understanding of the IDEA Part C and Part B 619 SPP/APR indicators and their requirements.
  2. SPP/APR Checklists and Tips. (See table below.) Updated for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2023, the checklists and tips documents are organized by indicator and by the fields as they appear in the SPP/APR submission platform. This format helps states determine if all required information has been included. Tips help states determine if all relevant instructions are addressed for each indicator. A checklist and tips document has been created for each of the Part C indicators and, for Part B, preschool Indicators B6, B7, B12, and B17. Checklists and tips for Indicators C12 and B18 will be available soon.
  3. New Data Calculations. (See table below.) These documents provide detailed information about the data needed for each indicator’s calculation based on the federal measurement tables and related documentation. The documents provide information about the data for the numerator and denominator, data points for the calculation, data sources, and example calculations. All Part C indicators are referenced, as are Part B preschool Indicators B6, B7, and B12. Indicators C12 and B18 will be added at a later time.

For additional information, please access the current Part C or Part B FFY 2020–2025 SPP/APR Package and the SPP/APR Universal Technical Assistance for FFY 2020–2025 (see SPP/APR General Resources).

Intended audience: Part C Coordinators, Part C Data Managers, other Part C state staff responsible for the SPP/APR, Part B 619 Coordinators, Part B 619 Data Managers, other Part B 619 state staff responsible for the SPP/APR.
