Tool Search: IDEA Dec 1 Count
The IDEA December 1 Child Count Extract is a report of students with disabilities as defined under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, as amended in 2004 (IDEA-B 2004). This report is a total count of all students receiving special education and related services. It provides count, LRE, race, and other data to meet specific data requirements in Section 618 of the IDEA-B 2004.
Kentucky State Edition users can run this report against schools in multiple districts.
In addition, the Kentucky Department of Education uses this count to determine the amount of the Exceptional Child Add-on to the Supporting Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK) funding formula for local districts.
This report is due to KDE on December 15th. Data should be submitted using the Secure File Transfer (DoSE Upload) Web Application.
Selection Criteria
Report logic only considers Special Ed plans and does not consider PLP plans. Special Education settings and preferences are no longer controlled through the Enrollments tool. Special Ed settings and preferences should be made through the IEP Enrollment editor on the IEP.
Additional Reporting Logic
- Students will pull once per district in the final list. If a student has multiple valid enrollment records in the same district on the count date, the Primary enrollment is pulled.
- If multiple secondary enrollments exist in the same district, but no primary enrollment exists, then the following occurs:
- The enrollment with the latest start date is identified.
- If start dates match, the open-ended enrollment is selected over an ended enrollment.
- If no open-ended enrollments exist, the enrollment with the latest end date is selected.
- If all of the above criteria do not identify a single enrollment record, the enrollment with the most recent creation date is selected.

Understanding the Validation Report
An Error Report will generate before the final extract is generated. This error report will display warning and error groups. Students appearing in these five groups will display in the extract fields. The error report will only generate when run against the active school year.
Error 1
Error 1: The following records have a Reevaluation Due Date on or before the Effective Date. They will not be included in the report.
This warning excludes students with a disability status of 15 (Developmentally Delayed) if those students have turned 9 on or before December 1 of the reporting year.
This warning displays students whose Reevaluation Due Date is prior to the Effective Date of the active reporting year. For example, if the Effective Date of the report is 12/1/08, students whose reevaluation due date is 11/30/08 or less and who still have a Special Education status of A or AR will appear in this group.
Logic looks at the most recent locked CSR when calculating the Reevaluation Date.
Fields displayed: districtNumber, schoolNumber, SSID, lastName, firstName, reevaluationDate
Error 2
Error 2: The following students are not between the ages of 3 and 21 as of the Effective Date, they will not be included on the report.
This error exists because Kentucky policy does not allow the inclusion of students under the age of 3 or over the age of 21 for this report.
Fields displayed: districtNumber, schoolNumber, SSID, lastName, firstName,birthDate
Error 3
Error 3: The following records have an IEP End Date before the Effective Date of the current year, they will not be included on the report.
