Rockville, MD: Westat.  \nGraduation Rate and Dropout Rate: Indicators 1 and 2 Measurement Changes From FFY 2019 to FFY 2020–2025  \nBeginning in February 2022, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) is changing how states calculate graduation rate and dropout rate for the Part B State Performance Plan (SPP) and Annual Performance Report (APR) . This brief provides a summary of the changes in the data sources and measurements of these rates in the SPP/APR. It also provides a side-by-side comparison of the SPP/APR Part B Indicator Measurement Tables 1 from FFY 2019 to FFY 2020–20252 to highlight relevant differences in SPP/APR reporting of graduation rate and dropout rate.3 It is important to note that to meet the new FFY 2020–2025 requirements, states will need to consider new baselines and set new targets based on broad stakeholder input. Throughout this brief, the terms “children, students, and youth(s)” are used interchangeably for consistency when referring to original language in the measurement tables or elsewhere to capture the specific range of students (i.e., the student body) to whom the relevant Indicator 1 and Indicator 2 Exiting data apply.  \nIndicator 1: Graduation Rate Changes  \nThe language of Indicator 1 changes from FFY 2019 to FFY 2020–2025. For FFY 2019, Indicator 1 measures graduation rate as the “percent of youth with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) graduating from highschool with a regular high school diploma.” For FFY 2020–2025, Indicator 1 measures graduation rate as an“exiting rate.” It measures the “percent of youth with IEPs exiting from high school with a regular high school diploma.”  \nTable 1 compares the data sources and measurements for Indicator 1 for FFY 2019 and FFY 2020–2025. The data source for FFY 2019 is the same data states reported to the U.S. Department of Education (Department) under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) . Beginning with the FFY 2020–2025 SPP/APR, the data source for Indicator 1 is the same data states used for reporting to the Department under Section 618 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) .4  \n1 The text in the tables in this brief uses the original language as it appears in the measurement tables.  \n2 This brief compares the FFY 2019 APR submission to the new SPP/APR for FFY 2020–2025.  \n3 The FFY 2019 APR submission was due in February 2021. The FFY 2020 APR submission is due in February 2022. The FFY 2020– 2025 SPP/APR Part B Indicator Measurement Table also signals a change in data source for Indicator 2 in FFY 2021, which is indicated in bold within the table.  \n4 The Section 618 IDEA data use the definitions in the EDFacts file specification FS009 .  \nTable 1.
